Arrived at the NSP pier about 6 am. Was surprised when the cost to get on the pier was the same as in past, had heard/read that the admission price was raised. Anyway, bait only available on sabiki under the lights. There was alot of bait in the water, and alot of ladyfish chasing them around. Took a bit to get up a few medium size green backs. Right off the bat, my son pulls in a 26 inch lady.. threw her back. I'm still rigging up the rest of the rods. About 10 min later he pulls in a 15" mangrove. then everything goes calm while the sun comes up. No bait, no ladyfish nothing anywhere!! Like they all disappeared. Fought all morning to catch bait... one here one there. But then they were big (7-8") and on the bottom. Even tried some frozen shrimp to no avail. Caught a few pinfish on the bottom and two lookdown jacks. My father in-law managed one gag (23"... of course), went back in the drink. and that was it for the day. Got rocked a few times or maybe just plain hungup?? We stayed until noon, and then it started to get too hot.
Wish we had got there an hour or two earlier, but we already had a long dirve ahead of us. Plus I stayed up to try and catch the shuttle launch.
Anyway, beautiful morning.... just not the best for fishing on the NSP. I was surprised that for the most part of the morning, we were the ONLY ones on the pier!!
