Before fishing the 5 of us had an early dinner @ Ruby's. We couldn't resist the smell of frying bacon wafting down the pier so we ate first before fishing. Needless to say several of us had bacon as part of our meal.
Fished around 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM with my wife's cousin & his son, Austin. Photos were taken by my daughter who did not fish. Active fishermen (we held onto our poles) - Austin & myself. Passive fishermen (they did not hold onto their poles) - my wife & her cousin. Non-fisherperson - my daughter, the cell phone photographer.
Final count:
Austin - 8 macks (several >1') on cut macks (caught last year) on #10 snelled hooks
me - <3" mack & a smelt on a sabiki & a 4" mack on a Krocodile.
cousin - farmed >1' mack on a sabiki that happened to be in the water.
The following pix are Austen and some of his catch:

As you can see Austin's a natural fisherman. This was his 1st time saltwater fishing. The only other time was bass fishing in a friend's backyard pond around St. Louis. Trying to talk his dad into going on a 1/2 day boat.
Others were catching macks on shrimp and on cut macks. My wife said someone caught an octopus in a crab net. On the way back, I snooped in a bucket of someone fishing the surf line & saw a number of barred surf perches.
