My buddy steve and I got there about 11 am and started catching threadfins and small pinfish. Big Pins were very hard to find. Man was it crowded, but I managed to find a spot. A spot I had never fished before.
Put on a #14 Sabiki ( actually a Mustad Piscator 8 hook 8 foot from Wally World) and started catching Macks immediately. At one point I had 3 on at a time. Mostly in 14 to 18 in. range. Then some bigger ones showed up. Biggest I caught was 22". People using Gotcha's and spoons were getting nothing. Later in the day some big boys showed up and 2 young guys next to us were nailing some 24" and larger. They were using small clark spoons under a bobber, tip with shrimp. Just goes to show you, you never know what they like at any given time, because all of a sudden the big sabiki wasn't working anymore. I didn't really care cause the tide was changing and I was grouper hunting.
Tried frozen spanish dines and nothing, tried cut mack and nothing. So it was up to the small pins. We caught some 18" shorties and my buddy caught a 22" keeper. Then the tide started to really rip and that was it, we packed it up.
Really nice day, except for the crowd, but was good for the pier business. They need it, to stay open.
I got a water temp reading of 68 degrees, so you know what that means.
Her's a pic of my friends keeper. Didn't get a pic til we got home.
