Got there about 8am, left around noon. By the time I got there the baitshop was already clean out of mullet, got some live shrimp instead. Setup on the right side and I was gettin croaker on damn near every cast from the shrimp. Switched to the left side of the pier and landed a flounder about 10 ft from the pier (Big thank you to the man with the long net). Didnt get much other than croaker and some small reds after that.

Nice day to be out on the water. Just wish I didnt have to leave whenever high tide was coming in, but skippin ChemLab is suicide.
22" 5.15lb Flounder

It's lit till 10pm. They kinda force you outta there around 9:30-9:45. For people that run a successful bait shop and fishing pier they can be real jerks. Great fishing crowd though

Yep.

One night at around 945pm they shut out all the lights on the pier and I had to gather my stuff together in the dark. They did have one guy come out with a flashlight, and claimed that was nice of them to do that. No warning at all.

About a week later (after complaining about what happened) they did warn us about closing time. Yea, they warned us at 930pm (Sheriff's car loud speaker) to get off immediately.

and.................I haven't been back since.


I'm always catch and release, except for cut bait.
