Got to the pier around 11am and stayed until about 630 this evening. Not much action on the low tide other than a few sand perch. Nice sized black drum were being pulled out of the surf. Once the tide came in, so did the fish. Whiting were being caught left and right, some really big, especially by tourists that were showing me up.
Ended the day with 5 nice whiting sitting in the cooler, the rest went back to the water. Biggest fish caught all day was a 3ft bonnethead shark that hit someone's line while he went for nachos. He wasn't happy.
Also got a visit from the game warden, who was surprisingly lenient to many people on the pier. No tickets written, despite the fact that many tourists didn't have licenses. Of course, this was before the whiting blitz.
