Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Mary and I found a nice window of fishing opportunity – no rain and mild winds, decided to head out for a couple hours on a Sunday because we had a hankerin’ for some Blackened Fish Tacos.

Launched about 10:00 am, oppss, forgot to look at tides – we were at the end of a incoming tide with a outgoing tide taking it’s time to get some water moving.

Loaded up with 3 dozen select shrimp and a dozen pinfish – started at Green 7 out in front of the PP working water with grass in 3’ drifting out to about 9’. A great sign was a lot of active hungry Trout – best action was shrimp below a cork.

Continued working North – lots of Trout, most of ‘em just short of 15” all in that 3’ out to the grass line.

Shrimp was the ticket for Trout – we did have numerous bite offs on pinfish – don’t think they were sharks – thinking that Macks are starting to hang around – water was a little cooler @ 82 degrees.

Headed in about 2:00 pm, Mary caught all he keepers and Miss Vicki’s was calling with a cold brew and some Fish Spread – kept 3 unlucky Trout for tacos…

‘A great time was had by all’  and the tacos were awesome for dinner

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below My son, Corey, his girlfriend Misty and their 4 year old daughter Lily arrived at our home late Friday to go offshore looking for hogfish on Saturday.  True to our team name, “the Crack of Noon Fishing Team, we got to Nicks Park at 9:30.  While Corey and I launched the boat, Misty and Lily went to the bait store to purchase shrimp..  While there, the young sales lady gave Lily a hermit crab which turned out to be the hit of the weekend.  In rout to our spot, we ran into a flock of birds and deciided to see what they were on.  Turned out the were swarming over a LARGE school of ladyfish.  We caught a bunch of them keeping a couple for bait and then proceeded to continue our run offshore.  I noticed a spot I had not fished in about 12 years which was on my GPS track to the spot I wanted to fish so decided to look around there.  Marked a good sow and dropped a rod with a shrimp and I caught a small red grouper.  We anchored on this spot and caught a large variety of fish, nothing to write home about but both Misty and Lily caught black seabass, squirrel fish, blue runners, and short red grouper.  The girls wanted to stop at the sandbar on the trip home so we left offshore about 1:30, got to the sandbar which was completely under water , so we called it a day.
One nice thing about the day. I was expecting a madhouse at Nicks Park Ramp because of teh holiday weekend, but we got there after all the traffic, and though the lot was full, we did not have to wait at all to launch. And we were early enough returning we did not have to wait to recover and were on our way in minutes.  The hermit crab became a pet, that Misty, Lily and Pam went on a quest at WalMart to find a pen, stopped at Nicks Park to get a shovel full of sand and then stopped at the bait store to get another hermit crab so the first one would not get lonely

Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below About 2 weeks ago I went out on the Miss Virginia and caught 7 hogfish with 3 being keepers. Also caught many grunts and 2 just short red groupers. Was a good day so I decided to go out again to see if I could duplicate the past. No such luck. No hogfish and few grunts. But at the last minute I decided to bring along a grouper rod. That did not amount to much until 30 minutes before coming in when I landed a 27″ gag. I completely forgot about a picture to this report but not all is lost, I did win the grouper pool and brought home $150 for the effort!

State the length and species in the box below Went out with Craig with frozen mullet to areas around the power plant. Craig started the day off right with a 25 inch red in about a foot of water near some rocks. He followed it up with another 19 1/2 red two hours later at another spot. He also caught several catfish while I only landed one red, one trout, and a half dozen lizard fish. Kept moving all day as the tide came in. Water temp topped out at 90.9 degrees. Sun came out at noon and so did the heat. Another adventure with good results.

State the length and species in the box below I was cleaning my fish from yesterday throwing the scraps into the canal and I keep seeing good size swirls so I grabbed a light rod 4 /0 circle on it and threw in in and that’s what grabbed it. Fun fight between the boat lifts .
