Well got a chance to get out yesterday. Fished the SSP from 3:30 to 11 pm. Short groupers and a few keeper mangroves. Decent size pinfish were hard to find, some huge threadfins on the bottom which I soaked for hrs. Only thing the grouper were hitting was cut Threadies, nothing on frozen dines, pigfish, and anything else I could stick a hook in.
When I got there, the skies were looking terrible and people were leaving in mass. Fine with me, I was just gonna wait it out. Funny thing is it never did rain and I thought this is perfect. The tide was starting to run and I had most of the pier to myself. Then about 6 or 7 it was like someone rang a school bell and class was in. By 8 pm you could hardly find a place to park. Had people casting over my lines, music blasting, kids doing cartwheels down the pier. By 11pm, it was more than I could take.
Gave all my bait to a guy that had been there all day working really hard cause he spoke English and could say Thank You.
Anyway, did me good to just get out there by myself and smell saltwater.
