Late 09/07/11 report (pics)

[blacktip]

Im a bit late, but here it goes.

Went out for a bit 9/7/11, was a pretty slow day. Lots of rain and wind all day and night. Bait wasn't hard to get in the daytime, but after sundown it was hard to come by. Caught a few small grouper, a undersized flounder, some junk fish and 1 decent snapper that I brought home for dinner.

Fun Day regardless, pictures below.

Cool,,, was the pier busy? Were you fishing on the demo side at all?

[blacktip]

The pier had maybe 30 people on it. I didnt fish the demo areas, the water was very murky in those areas.

Blacktip thanks for sharing them great photos.
The sunsets were beautiful. I still have the ones
you posted in the past. Thanks for the demo shots
too. One question. Was that little tiny fish a flounder?
Some how it didn't look exactly like the other one
you had. I hope to be back out there next month
now that these hottest months are out of the way.
Your pictures are always interesting. Thanks again.

Glad you enjoyed them. The small fish in the palm of my hand is a flounder, but I'm pretty sure its a different species. Copy and paste the link below, you might see the name there.

Yeah I do believe it has to be a flounder. Sure was small. You probably seen me
tell this story before but that was my son's first fish. He caught it on a fishing
pier in Norfolk, Va when he was 3 years old. He's 42 now and loves fishing.
It was so funny. I had a pole for him but he was having so much fun running
up and down the pier looking at peoples fish. So finally I made him a hand line
and each time he went past the pole where it was tied I'd say check your line.
Well this one time he gets hold of the line and says Daddy it's to heavy I can't
pull it up. I go over and look down and he has a 5 or 6 pound flounder on the
line. I pulled it up and just as it was coming over the rail it fell off. I was sick.
My son's first fish and I lost it. Some woman near us says why didn't you get the
net. What net? It was my first time at that pier too. On the end of the pier. Anyway
about 30 minutes later he caught one about 1 1/2 pounds. I got the net. To this day
I have never caught one as big as the first one he had. Tight lines blacktip, may your
cooler stay full.
