Will be on the NSP shortly after midnight. I was
out Wed with the wife and I got 8 Silvers. Didn't
catch or see much else though. Going to give it
a try again tomorrow. To windy for my taste. The
report says 14 mph winds. Hope it doesn't get
any more than that. Hopefully less. I'll be driving
a white 4 door F150 and dressed like it's Montana or
someplace. If anyone is out there look me up.

Your right about that havetofish. It was plenty cold.
I didn't have to worry about elbow room either.
When I got there It was me and Mike the night
guy. Four other guys were just leaving. They were
pretty discouraged I guess. They left two five gallon
buckets and at least five pounds of squid. No green
backs. At least not where I could see them. I had
an outgoing tide till 9am and it was something else.
I put 16 ounces of weight on one line and it still wouldn't
sit still. Got one little tiny trout. A lot of very small pins
and very nice size grunts. I had a free line out and I
think I may have lost a couple of Groupers. Couldn'
get them out of there holes though. Being the
pro that I am> Ha Ha It was a lost cause for me.
Had a lot of fun though. It wasn't like I didn't have
lots of room. When I left at noon there still weren't
more than about 10 vehicles there. Oh well next time.
I hope I get that grouper soon. Oh well It's only been
ten years I'm bound to get one sometime. Law of
averages. My best yet was two 19". One at
the NSP and one on a boat trip. Tight lines

fishwander I don't even know where I got that
old sinker. I had one of those I beleive are called
a torpedo or something that weighed 10 ounces
and it wouldn't hold so I put on another 6 ounces
just trying to keep it close to the pier and it still
rolled out about 20 or 30 feet from the pier. That
tide was really moving for a while there.
havetofish have I met you? Didn't you say you
saw me out there. Also was that you that tipped
me off about taking the bait off the sabiki back when
we still could fish the other side it hadn't closed yet.
Whoever it was, was catching mackeral right and left.
I took the bait off and had caught about 30 macks
in about 30 minutes. Only two keepers and two
brand new sabikis hookless but it sure was fun.

Nope, we have never met Steve. Seems like it. But, yes on the Big Sabiki's with no bait. You'll only catch the smaller ones even with 30 lb. leader and 50 lb main and they won't last long. The bigger macks will cut you off. Have hauled up 3 at a time with them Big Sabiki's.
