I was able to fish the south jetty at Port A twice this week. Monday 10/9 we arrived at sunrise and walked the jetty to our normal spot to catch large redfish but after a few hours of bait soaking with no results we decided to go fish Packery. So we packed up and we were at the final flat part of the jetty when we saw a man who said he was catching. We decided to stay. Good thing we did. I ended up catching a 24" flounder and a couple slot reds. It salvaged our day. We were fishing the new inlet that was created by the storm at the beginning part of the jetties. We saw many flounder being caught that day. We were using live mullet.
10/11 Decided to go back to the same spot. Fishing continued to be good yesterday. I caught a 26" redfish and a few flounder. Some guys were using plastics and limiting out on flounder. One guy said he caught them on 5 different plastics. I think he said cocahoe minnows and he added a fish bite for extra scent. They were saying today would be even better because the north wind will be at only 5. I would say if you have a few hours go check it out. We were catching fish from sunrise past noon. Good times! Wish I was there today!

Sounds like y'all had a great time! Thanks for the report.
Was that the North or South jetty at Packery?

What's the parking situation at the south jetty? I haven't been there since mid-August, headed that way this weekend. Google maps is telling me that beach parking near the jetty is not an option.

Donnie, I haven't fished it in years, but jetties don't change much! It's basically a cakewalk (flat), and also why those Jetties get so $@&## crowded! Packery is worse as far as crowds only because they are closer to more people and shorter.

If memory serves me well, it's topped with level pink granite until very close to the end, then gets a little less "Sunday stroll" friendly.
