It was an interesting night morning. A buddy and I got to the island about 1:00 AM. We thought the winds were supposed to be NE, we were wrong. They were almost dead west. We fished a rock groin at the surf close to that Pleasure Pier thing. We stayed there for about 45 minutes. Nothing. Not even bump. No worries, we headed over to a spot we like close to the sewage treatment plant. Well we caught a lot of fish.
5 skip jacks to about 22"
5 blue crabs (all eating size)
1 rat red
2 sandies (keeper size)
1 gulf trout (smallish)
1 dink speck
4 hardhead
I think that's it. Big bunch of junk. This was all caught between 2:30 and 5:00. My buddy was throwing live shrimp (hardheads and skipjacks) under a popping cork. I threw a DOA shrimp with chartreuse tail (nothing), 2" new penny Gulp shrimp (most caught with that), and a 4" glow Gulp shrimp (red and speck). Both Gulps were on a 1/8 ounce white jig head. It was a fun trip if nothing else. Drove 3 hours round trip to fish for 4 hours. Came home with nothing, but at least we caught fish. No pics because...come on, who would photograph that junk.
