Hit packery north jetty this morning. Hot, humid, very crowded, but still better than not going.

Water was high and dirty, but not as high as it was last week, channel side was rough but not unfishable. Mullet everywhere, and I mean everywhere! Lots of baitfish activity in the channel leading to lots of full cast nets. Water looked like it was boiling when the birds would come down.

We arrived around sunrise with some fresh dead shrimp from HEB and a dozen live finger mullet. More finger mullet came our way via cast net. No live shrimp flags flying this morning.

Caught and released 4 grovers, all around 10 inches. Also caught one small speck. They were were hitting live mullet and dead shrimp.

Caught 2 undersized snook (maybe 14 inches) on back to back casts, live mullet under popping cork on the channel side, litterally up against the rocks.

Left about 9:15. On the walk back I saw 2 keeper Smacks on the concrete about halfway down the jetty, saw another being landed even closer to the shoreline on the channel side as we were leaving.

Really wanted to see some big reds in the surf, it was elbow to elbow at the end of the jetty with everyone else wanting to see the same thing. The only red landed while I was there was a slot red near the end of the north jetty on the channel side, live mulllet at sunrise.

Came home through Port Aransas and stopped at Roberts Point Park. Caught one more Grover on the rocks between the pier and the "corner" rocks, dead finger mullet on a fish finder rig around 10:00, called it a day at 10:30 and visited with some locals.
