Told you guys before that area is full of pirates, flesh eating bacteria, sting rays and no fish. Everyone should just stay away from that area. On a side note Night Hawk has been holding tons of Bonefish, snook, tarpon, trout and reds with little to no fishing pressure.  |

I think the water inside Shamrock Island is off limits during some months out of the year? I read an article by Cpt. B. Sandifer in the Saltwater Angler I could be wrong I will check the magazine when I get home. _________________ Do not argue with an idiot.

Ditto on the no fish. I waded Fish Pass Sunday morning and all I got to show for it is some of that swimmer's itch! _________________ “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.

I think it's off limits to set foot on the island because it's a bird sanctuary. Even if you are aggy.  |

Lat -
Really? I had no idea. I was probaby 13 when we were fishing into the night around the bay. About 3 or 4 am, dad and I decided to head over to the island, pitch a tent, and get a couple hours of shut-eye before the morning fish. Had no idea it was illegal. |

| Stay away from the sand pockets. Forgot to mention this earlier. Quicksand! Many souls have been lost there. |

| Shamrock is one of my favorite places to fish. You have to know where the fish are and I rarely come outta there empty handed. |
