|
|
Been reading the forums for quite some time and love all the useful information it's provided me. I figured it I'd finally make an account and join the community! Went out to PINS yesterday with some success so I figured I'd post up my novice fishing report for whatever it's worth.
Made camp somewhere between mile marker 9 and 10 around 530pm, the surf was very calm with few breakers except around the bars. Got fishing around 6 and on dads first cast of some cut jackfish he had a shark on the line. Reeled in a pup black tip around 20 inches. By 730 when he left to cook the previous days catch (2 mangroves, a red, a blackdrum, and a spec ), we had caught at least 8 pup black tips between the two of us. I even managed to catch a whiting and a shark at the same time! After dinner I switched to some fresh dead shrimp and started cleaning out the whiting. Ended up with a nice stringer full. All in all the conditions were great, clear water up to my hips, small waves, and lots of fish. I think the best part was there wasn't a single hardhead pulled in! The trip was a success. Heading back out today, hopefully the same thing. Tight lines,
Jiggin Joe

| Nice trip and welcome to the forum. I was down on Tuesday for business and made a trip out to pins. I had heard all the reports of the cold water upwelling but heck I was there so went anyway. Barely 2 nibbles in a couple of hours of fishing. Hopefully your success means the water is getting better. |

Thanks all. Really love all the welcomes! Had another great day at about MM 8, again with no hardheads. No shark this time, but I literally filled up a stringer with whiting by myself within a few hours. Now the cleaning begins!
Pardon the same outfit, have 3 pairs of those shorts and just rewore the shirt
