Rode the flyer over on the 615am trip. Get to the mole little over an hour later. Decided to head this way to start the day off.

Once past the protected area I threw some swim baits while soaking squid/macs for nothing but a lot of bites.

Fished here and there along the beach from where the pic above was taken to way past the point in the distance. Got into a bunch of micro calicos while trying to get some exotic perch.
Ranged from this size to near legal.

Quickly got over that and with the skunk off three some iron and lcs for a few lookers but no takers. Head back to the mole around 2, was running out of fresh water which I brought a gallon of.
The mole.

While trying to get smelt it was wide open blacksmith and small bass.

Later on other fishermen gave me their left over shrimp. About 4lbs off it. The fish loved the shrimp. More short calicos and a nice sheepshead that was quick released while attempting to bounce it. Landed a nice rockfish of some sort and fished with some awesome people who I shared the bait with. To all those with a bday from now till April, I believe, I would recommend taking advantage off their offer if possible. For free I was able to meet many nice peoe catch some fish and take a nice hike.

Never traveled the short trip over to the Cat Island but it certanly looks like a nice spot!

Great to see you had a fun day even if the larger models did not come out to play!
