Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

What a really nice looking Thursday morning!
With mostly blue skies, mild temp and light NE breeze.
The water was calm and clear




@ 6:15 am this was what the end of the pier looked like (looking SW)...



Todd with a real nice spanish on a small live LY (scaled sardine)...




Scott (from Henegar, AL) with his first spanish from the pier...




Yep, there was a sho-enough "Chicken Chaser" sighting...




My 24" FL spanish (just over 4#)



A nice redfish (+13#) caught bottom fishing with cut bait (released)...




"Tater" Ledlow's 29.5# king (on a twice refrozen 'popcicle')




Otis 'bowed up' with his first spanish (he's recovering from surgery)...




Otis with his 4th spanish. Check out that grin...
He's mighty glad to getting back into what he enjoys!




1st of three 'keeper' mangroves I caught...



I got to visit with "Ugly Stik's" dad for a while : No pic

My mackerel 'Money Shot'...




The sunset scene (complete with 'eye candy'



It sure was a glorious day.
Thank You Lord for making it so, and letting us be there to enjoy it!

I extend an open invitation to you to join me on any of my fishing trips, because I never have any pictures close to what you post.

Great report. That is one big ass looking pier.

Nice catch and great pics that pier looks amazing, and does everyone only use spinning gear up there?

Nope, I caught the mangrove snapper on a conventional (my Shimano Calcutta).
But mackerel fishing here (from piers) with most baits and lures is just 'easier' with spinning gear.

Thanks folks!

that pier looks amazing. hope to get down there in about a month. are others catching the snapper or are they just caught here and there? im looking to hook some smoker kings and my dad wants the snapper.

Large live baits and frozen cigar minnows are getting the kings.
The snapper will eat small live minnows or small live shrimp right next to the pilings.

Woooo Hoooo!

love the reports keep em coming!!!!

beautiful report as always. lovin em
