Hey fellas,
Got out early this morning trying to get some bait on fishbites. Pulled in a whiting and he turned into bait for the big rods. Had a screamer go off and got it hooked but couldn't turn it. About spooled me and had to lock it down. Broke off but had 3 more screamers but no hookups on those. No other fish were caught on the fishbites. Hopefully find a red. Tight lines fellas!!!

I was out there today also. Fished midway down the pier right around the hump. Had a decent spot run from about 9-1030. Caught about 20. The guys next to me did even better. I caught mine on fishbites bloodworm. Saw a kid a little further up hook a 5-6 pound black drum. He had it whipped when an older guy came over to handline it up. He had it close to the top rail but tried to swing it over too soon and clunked it off the rail and back into the water it went. There were groans all around.

Which part of the pier were you fishing on?

Went back out with fresh mullet and hooked into a 5+ foot shark. Fought him for probably 45 minutes then took me into the pier and broke off. Went to check the other big rod and was spooled by something else. I had whiting on that rod. Try again tomorrow hopefully

Fished Sunday and prayed and prayed but nothing even nibbled lol very tough day. Winds had changed is my only guess and didn't see birds diving as much. Fished this mornings in coming tide and had some good hits on the big rods. Those are the only rods I had out. Guessing all sharks because all of them chewed through the 100 pound leader line. Still a good time. Tight lines. Bait used were mullet, whiting and blues. Most of the better bites came on the mullet.
