Can I expect PINS to be reasonably quiet , or does it tend to be overcrowded around memorial day weekend .

I can drive down a good ways (or even all the way) if that's what it takes to find a nice surf fishing spot . I've been to PINS before , just not in the summer .

Thanks

You can expect it to be crazy busy. When you get past the 2 wheel drive comfort zone, it'll thin out, but nothing will be secluded.

Thanks . I think I'll postpone for a week or two, weather permitting . I hear the seaweed is clearing out too.

My family and I spent last weekend around mile marker 15. The best day for us was last Friday, seas were about 1 foot or less and slightly choppy. I had 1 unidentified fish spool me in the 3rd gut and after that I caught trout non-stop on croakers. Saturday was cloudy with very calm sea. It was all skip jacks and only 1 trout. The beach is covered in sea weed however in the relatively calm waters the sea weed caused no issues and did not get in the way of our fishing. Even on the most crowded weekends I have been able to drive far enough to find a spot away from others.

Great , I usually drive past mile 10, at the very least . I'll report back after I visit.
