Jan. 17, 2003 Sandbridge Report,
Checked out Sandbridge beach today courtesy of Lee-Jackson Day (not the snow). Stopped first at the Market today on way in ~1230pm nothing happening. Drove on south to Little Island Park w/Daddies little girl in tow. Had her looking like the Michelin tire man when we hit the beach just hundred yards south of the pier, cold & blowing NW 15-20+ knots steady.
Soon as we popped over the dunes there they were the only game in town, Gannets and Gulls working heavy 300-500 yards off beach, from the end of the pier south stretching for about half a mile long.
From ~ 1-2pm watched as they worked away, sometimes in a tight ball with Gannets raining down at times looking like a shower curtain. Blind tossed a 6" Bunker colored Storm Wildeye from end of the pier - no soap
Even my little girl tossed her hookless (not yet 5) black/pearl plastic shad with her Scooby Doo rod to no avail.
Between the front and on-going beach replenishment water in the surf zone was like coffee w/cream which didn't help. Stinking pier needs another 1000'
So close, yet so far away !
Good fishin'
