Went to PINS with Mary this morning.

Pelicans flying at sunrise.

Guess where we stopped?

Mary left her footprint at little shell. About the 18.

When we first got there I put some cut bait I brought from home until the mullet started showing up.

Caught some mullet and the skippies were plentiful.

Put mullet on one rod and cut skip on the other. Cast out the mullet and when I went to put the rod in the holder it was completely slack. Started reeling it in and nothing. Was thinking how could I have lost my spider weight. Kept reeling it in then all of a sudden reel stops and line starts being stripped from my reel. 38" Jack

I then catch a 20.75" blue on cut skip and a 25" red on live mullet.

About 30 min. later I get a bend in the rod with skippie and pull in a clone to the first Jack. Another 38"er.

Re-bait with mullet and put rod in holder. Went and grabbed a beer and before I could uncap it I get a hit on that rod I just threw out. This one knew how to fight. It eventually took me out to the 3rd gut. Finally get it tin and it is a 40" beast.

Stayed a little while longer without much of anything but skippies and hard heads.

Mother nature's dune restoration.

About the 5mm I noticed the water in the wade gut and 1st bar was really black. I thought that maybe it was churned up seaweed. No! It was a 1/4 mile of shad.

Hoping that it was more than skipjack munching out I threw a shad looking spoon but nothing but ladyfish.

too bad it takes a monster truck trecking 4X4 and nerves of steel to travel and fish south of the 4X4 sign... please everybody, STAY AWAY from the south end
