Wifey is out of town so I took the kids out to the SSP at 9am to fish the incoming and get some mack action. Saw a few macks coming over the rail but not the dozens per person I keep hearing about. We didn't catch a single one with either sabikis or gotcha's. Kids caught loadsa pinners and junkfish though,, that kept them plenty happy.
Sent out a pinfish as soon as we arrived but didn't get a nibble until about noon when the grouper bite turned on,,, caught 4 or 5 decent gags and also got rocked about 4 times,, once by something that nearly pulled me off my feet.
We called it a day at about 4pm when a big Grey Heron helped-himself to (all) the contents of our bait bucket.
All in all an awesome day,,, sun was out,, wind wasn't too bad,, didn't see flipper all day,, kids were smiling,, gags were biting,,,, I'll take it! Well worth the 4 hours of driving.
