Got to the pier about 645...water seemed green, but dingy. I give it about a 6/10 on clarity.

Nothing for about 30 minutes, then spotted some pomps cruising the back of the 3rd bar...flung a live shrimp under a popping cork at them, two pops, and landed a nice football sized pomp...thought it was fixing to be 'on'.

Saw some more, baited up, repeated...this time, I saw them swim up, look at my live shrimp and turn their nose up at it...serious WTF moment there.

I repeated this about 5 more times...very frustrating.

I moved down towards the beach in front of the 3rd bar, and started working...saw lots of smacks...and they acted just like the Pomps did...would zoom around the shrimp, but refused to eat.

Reached into my bucket, and got a SMALLER shrimp (about 3" long)...cast...BANG, caught a very big Smack...had to cut the tail off to get it into the cooler...looked to be about 25-26" long.

Unfortunately, the only shrimp I had were jumbos...and apparently, that's not what the smacks wanted...they'd look at it, and turn their nose up.

I landed another Smack, about 21" long, and headed home.

Saw lots of reds caught..one oversized, and several slots...all caught on cut bait.

Was great to get out on the water...and honestly, my 3 fish are more than enough for dinner tonight.

Headed to PINS tomorrow...looking for something BIG to tussle with.

Thanks for the clear, concise and informative report. Glad to hear that the pomps are at least in action.
