Thinking of hauling the gang out to the piers tonight. Anything been biting lately or has the cold given the fish lockjaw? Also, how has the bait been? usually when it gets cold the bait seems to disappear.
Thanks

I was out on SSP this am from about 7 til noon, not much happening til about 10. Got 2 short groupers 18 & 20. Scooter and his gang were beside me and managed 4 keeper gags. Wind started to pick up and temp started to drop. Might be a bit chilly there tonight

I know one thing for sure...Those guys get alot of fish by getting their baits WAYYYY out from the pier. Like 200-300 yards, which is beyond the usual pressure from the majority of pier anglers. That, and of course bigger baits to weed out the smaller fish.

No idea what was different, had good sized pins, was out about 100-150 yards. right over structure. must have been the way I was holding my mouth

It's Scooter I tell you. He has to be talking to the head
Grouper. That can't all be luck. He has to be related. I
never seen anybody so Grouper lucky. I'm still looking
for my first keeper Grouper, but I'm getting there. I missed
a Red on my last boat trip by 1/2 inch and I got two 19" gags
on the pier this year. But I only been coming out for 7 years
now. Good things take time Rightttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
Tight Lines everyone. riverviewsteve

Well we decided to go out last night instead of staying home and doing nothing...should have stayed home. The only thing biting was the wind. it was extremely windy and cold. Manged a few dozen greenies and sardines but most of them went back unharmed. There was maybe 3 or 4 cars total on the NSP, you literally had your choice of spots. Oh well, maybe next time.

one word...experience. i know that's what it takes to catch the big ones consistantly. keep trying, pay attention to how they present their baits, and be patient.
