Made it out to the NSP on tues around 10am bait was still there but not for long as the tide was getting ready to change so the three of us that made it out (my uncle a buddy and i) concentrated hard on nothing but bait there were a few tarpon around at this time but didnt even attempt we needed bait....so the tide turned and we started fishin had a few small runs took the bait then finally a good one 16" gag on deck by now the sun is blazin already and im back and forth to the cooler getting water go into the bait shop to see how things been going to look out the door and see my uncle struggling with his medium spinner to get the fish in another 16"er....i toss a large lively pinner out and its not on the bottom for 30 seconds and get nailed....the fish is diggin and almost pullin drag on my 4/0 and im thinkin YEAH this is gonna be the first keeper of the day get it up and its looking real close so i flip it up on the deck take a quick look and something tells me this doesnt look right....(forgot my tape at home) so i step into the bait shop to take a quick measure 19.5" and he was FAT had to thow him back...its about noon time and the sun is only getting hotter continued to catch some bait (very hard to do at this point. as they were almost non existant) got rocked up a couple times and broke off half way up twice i was mad but still a fun day on the pier total 3 short grouper and very limited bait....left about 4....
