Been itching to get a good days fishing in all week. Finally got out there this morning but the wind was blowing already at 8:30am when I got there. caught a few BSP on the crack, all dinks. then the tide started to drop so I began to fall back toward the end of the pier with a DS rig, 5" glup jerk shad. caught a pancake about halfway out but as the tide continued to fall and the wind got even worse I found myself at the very end of the pier fishing my DS rig with a 1oz torpedo sinker in the only "clean" water I could find. apparently that's just what the doctor ordered. as I was working my bait slowly back to the edge of the pier, not expecting anything to happen and just enjoying the sun and wind on my face, I felt my slack jump and the weight of something on the end of my line.....Swing!! Bingo I'm thinking is a decent fish from the location and lack of vibration. about halfway up the fish shows its true self and starts to head shake before diving for the bottom peeling the 10lb line off my ABU black max until he felt comfortably deep again. I called for my net. my fiancé and fisherwoman is training was right on it and after a few tense moments with the fish struggling on the surface, it was on its way up the side of the pier to meet the crowd of people that had gathered to see what all the excitement was about. I knew it was close to legal seemed like it shrunk as it came over the rail....
