May try to head down myself when high tide comes around. Went down on Saturday night(11:00am - 4:00 am), caught about 6 or 7 schoolies on a mini mackeral bomber. Didnt see anyone catch anything to keep. I hope it picks up soon

The jig guys are getting them, saw a few yesterday morn., but I am looking for top water action. Over slept this morning, if you can call 5 hours of sleep over sleeping. They probably killed them. P.

When did 32" fish become "nice fish"?

Word spread like widlfire on the mainland side yesterday--this particular regular got two "nice fish" jigging somewhere east of the run. Took a ride down to see these fine specimens--one was just legal, the other may have run 32"

Don't get me wrong--32" are my favorite fish to keep and eat. But let's call them what they really are--they're just above schoolies. "Nice" fish start at about 20 lbs, IMO.

Mike, remember the the old days? The proper name for a 32 inch bass is a "medium" $1.00 to $1.25 in 78'.

Why even try.........

And that was 32" fork length

A medium was 15 and under, am I right? The memory's starting to fade a bit.

Forgot to mention -- today was starfish day for me. I picked up my share trying to get that last good bounce. Man, my arms ache from hauling them in - they are BIG also. 4 1/2 ounces and a 10 inch starfish feels like a 40 pounder.
