Don't get me wrong Joe, I don't want to rain on your parade and I'm glad you got a fish there the other night. From talking to a couple people that were there, at minimum you placed yourself in Jeopardy and perhapds others too. You were missing 3 things there; Korkers, some experience with Rock Hopping, and a lay of the land which you should get during daylight hours.

Again, I'm being very sincere when I say that you are really not ready for that spot. Sure, Quonnie is relatively mild compared to C-Town on a hompin' SE. It's easier to bring a fish out of Quonnie for sure. But you are not yet prepared in gear and experience to fish that place. I told you to hit FPR when you asked for advice and you might have had more fish on being both more comfortable in the surroundings and not needing to wait thru the ^%$&#* rotation...

Don't get me wrong, that fish you got on a plug was most likely an eye opener for you and gratifying but its not worth going in the drink if you are not prepared. You have a lot of desire and drive to get fish and that's great, and in time if you stick with it the fish will come. But your right to fish does not supercede your needs for your safety and that of others. Believe me when I say that I'm not the guy you want to try to pull your butt out of the breachway because you were unprepared and not familar with rock hopping...

Again, read this for what it is, a SINCERE tip about the realities of fishing.
