went to naples pier the other day because my gf wanted to go to Wawa...decided i'd make it a quick west coast trip and hit up the pier...man, was it slammed on a sunday. Not with fisherman either, but with tourists...first cast my gf makes and she;s slammed with a nice mack...lost him on the flip (i didnt bring my net)..i finally tie up and after a few casts boom..nice mack on the wood...a few casts later another nice mack on the deck. My gf was gettign cut off every other cast on crappie jigs...after about 1 hr i had landed about 8-9 and kept only the first 2 which were also the largest....got reprimanded by the pier police about using treble hooks though
one guy caught a pompano and my gf caught some great pictures of porpoise breaching..she was a happy camper
I was able to escape the other day after work and hit up some grass flats near my apartment. The late sunsets are a nice luxury....action was slow but i managed a couple trout and a cuda in a couple hours...one trout was a nice chunky one.
Had last some time off as well and went off to the keys for an afternoon...bite was slow and it was hot
....luckily we found a spot full of grouper that kept us busy on light tackle. We got so bored at the begining that i was sight casting houndies...and the biggest one i caught was 35".
