I love reading the reports from the TFF Mafia, and cant wait for the day to throw some lines with you guys. I also enjoy how you guys do it right, a 12 hr pier trip is the real deal. My old lady doesn't have me fishing budget, but she sure does have me on a time budget.
Congrats on the great catches, if the weather holds, I might drop some lines in the AM ( Sunday ). You guys using shrimp along with the less yielding cut bait?
Happy fishing!

Fresh dead shriimp is the first choice for bait. We also use shrimp, crab and clam flavored Fish Bites. Depending on the water quality the Fish Bites color can make a difference. We have found that smaller pieces of cut bait are more effective. Some use live shrimp to catch flounder and sheepsdhead around the pilings.

A lot of the fishermen have pier nets and if they see you are hooked into something big they will offer to help. Its a very friendly pier.

Thank you so much.. I am very anxious to fish the pier, and maybe with you guys at some point. Based off of the storm today, I'm planning on staying in tomorrow, but soon enough! Thanks again!
Happy fishing!

It got pretty rough around Houston, on the West Side at least. Wake up to a beautiful day today though... Go figures.
Happy fishing!
