Well three times in a week. Third times a charm at
least I hope so. This will be my last trip for a while.
Got to have some eye surgery done and not supposed
to do anything strenous like catch greenbacks with
a sabiki as well as a lot of other activities. Hope that
don't last to long. If I read it right Monday is supposed
to be an outgoing tide from 3am till a little after 11am.
Sure hope that's right. I am ready. I got sabikis and
gold hooks and a new pair of dykes to cut line
quickly. Mackeral rig. Gee I hope I'm ready. Bad or
good I will give a report sometime Monday evening
if I can stay awake long enough. Pier rat decal in the
window. White F-150 supercab. Wearing a retired
Navy ballcap. Will be somewhere around the bait
shop. Probably be parked at the last parking space
before the bait shop if it is open. Oh and I'll be using
my white PVC rod holders so should be easy to spot.
Hope to get there 2am or earlier.
Tight Lines everyone. Here goes nothing.

Sorry it took me so long to get back. I gotta tell you
I thought I was going to get throughly wet. My weather
report said 70% chance of rain. I left home at 1:29 am on
Monday morning. I went through 60 seconds of rain twice
on my way south on I'75 and that was it. I was really
surprised. Got to the pier and set up to fish. A little later
on I could actually see the stars. Stayed cloudy till 10am
but other than that a perfect day for fishing. I wish someone
had told the fish. I threw everything at them. All kinds of lures,
mack rigs, sabikis of all sizes, gold hooks, spoon, gotcha even
some bait and shrimp. They weren't paying attention. Green
backs were plentiful both on surface and deep.
Score
1 blue runner
1 pompano-two small 7"
1 lizard fish
1 toad fish
1 I don't know
and that was about it except for the greenies.
I saw one guy catch a keeper spotted sea trout
and another guy had a 18" mack. It was a beautiful
day though. Hardly any wind. Can't think of any place
I'd rather be. Well I'll be down for a while with the
surgery but I'll be back sooner or later. GS I spent
all day yesterday making a green back catcher out
of red and yellow tie straps and a clothes hanger
bent into a circle. Tie straps were cheap at Dollar
Tree. I didn't catch any anyway. I could see the
Greenies laughing at me. The guy next to me says
What the hell is that. When I told him he laughed
hystericallly. Oh yeah I had my pier rat sticker in
my windshield and this girl drives by and stops and
backs up. I'm wondering why is she so interested in
my truck. Then she asked me where I got it and I could
not remember who I ordered it from. It was somebody
on one of the forums. Ok that's it. Cute girl too.
Bye! I'll be back.
