Well it looks like I may get out there one
more time before my summer break for
the hot months. I can't beleive I'm happy
it's suppose to be a little windy but it's the
only way I'll get any relief from them love bugs.
Jeez those things mess up a white pickup truck.
Navy ball cap, (maybe) the wind. Navy license
plate. 4 door white F150. Pier rat decal if I
remember. Around 2am thursday morn or
earlier.

Sure ain't much to tell. No macks, No trout
not much of anything. Got there around
1:15am and stayed till 11:am. I started
putting my gear away about 9:30 and
suddenly the wind stopped. Love bug
heaven instantly. I went out there cause
I knew the wind would keep them down
but when it stopped. (Instant Lovebug Hell)
Gee they love my white pickup.
Took home one 13inch bluefish. I did
catch a shark about 18 inches. Not sure
what kind. Sorry. I got something that
looked like a puffer but not like any I
ever caught before. Ugly thing. Ugh
I used squid, live greenbacks, cut greenbacks
cut pinfish. Nothing except the 3 I mentioned.
Whoops I forgot I did get one 12inch grouper
under the pier. Back he went to grow up.
Tight Lines guys
Probably won't be back out there till September.

OK,, I'm intrigued,,, a Cowfish maybe?

[blacktip]

Cowfish are cool little guys.

Well I been looking through my fish book and
I can't find anything that looks like it. I'm pretty
sure it wasn't the cowfish. It was more red and
brown and resembled a puffer but not like the
little smooth puffers I'm used to catching. Next
time I'll try to remember to ask someone before
I throw it back. One possibility. Can you catch sea
robins at the pier. It kinda resembles it. Definitely
ugly.
