How did it go with the kayak? I'm also curious about the shack you're talking about, is it this place?

Since when? I was there on Thursday and there was no sign of it closing. The fish were very few and far between but I did almost catch an old fishing pole.

Good choice on the cart, you can load enough gear on that to take anything Long Key can throw at you

So a buddy of mine and I went to the Rickenbacker just to see what its like now that the parking is open and to fish for a little while, The parking looks great the fishing well not so great. We where there from around midnight to about 3:15am we caught a few medium sized grunts in the 8-10'' range they all went back in the water and around 2:30am we notice both our lines start running only to find out that he had hooked a 2 1/2 foot Bonnet Head shark apparently the shark swam toward my line and got them hooked together after about a 5 minute fight we got the little fellow out unhooked and back into the water. i saw a few Tarpon rolling in the shaded area away from the light but no hits from them.
So overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been. BTW it was a low but incoming tide so I didn't expect there to be much fish.
Tight Lines, Alex

the only good to catch rite now at that place is macks, and even that is hit or miss. god forbid u catch one and people see u. then you'll see wat it is to rub elbows.lol . last year during a frigid morning, i had a large king strike a feathered jig, but missed. he clearly cut all the hairs off my jig. but like i said, hit or miss or more miss than anything. better off hitting the piers.

Well, no signs at the beginning of the bridge for closing or anywhere. The Bridge does look cleaner from that last time I was there. 2 guys going after bait- A few fishermen on the bridge and that about it. The yoyo alarms made me laugh. The yoyo on the floor and beer bottle acting like the clicker-should have taken a pic! I will make a phone call and see if I can get this rumor out the way….

Fishing report-nobody was catching anything….but bait…lol

[rigotech]
