8/7.....It sure hasn't gotten any cooler...and the fish haven't been setting any records.....not many trying in the afternoons just to hot to be comfortable....nice crowds showing up after dark.....lots of spectators.....still muggy......small trout and flounder are being caught during the evening hours....there actually may be more fish in the day time just no one really cares to try it to find out....drink plenty of water....hopefully we will see you the weekend....

This Sunday is the last day to Pre-register for the tournament at the discounted rate....you can continue to register after that....however the price for all 10 categories will go up to $40.....Try and register soon and beat the crowd on Saturday .....

8/10.....Starting to see more mullet around...even hearing of a couple of flounder....still not alot to brag on but at least the weather seems a bit more toleratable finally cooling down some in the evenings with a breeze...the water is clearing up....We are on the Tournament countdown....6 days....The weather looks good for the weekend....I have ordered nice weather and lots of fish...its up to you to catch them...

8/22....I haven't forgot you....The tournament slowed me way down....still trying to catch up.....and now working on the tournament page with all the pictures....I have something I will post but be on the look out for changes....The wind is blowing and the fish aren't biting...we did catch 2 kings on Tuesday...and quite a few spanish and blues....not much since....drop me a line let me know what you think about the pictures....

8/24....The weekend hasn't been to bad....the wind has been blowing and the water rough....but there has been some spot, mullet and croaker's.....enough to fill a cooler.....no.... but enough you could have had dinner if you fished long enough.....the weather is much nicer today....the wind seems to have died down...the water has cleared up....but not hearing much from the fisherman......schools will be starting around here Monday/Tuesday...so should be a little quieter during the week .....come on down....

8/25....Its Monday...do I really need to say more....Quiet here threat of rain....but they caught spanish off the end today....not hearing of much else yet....a few mullet caught last night....




I received a phone call today that Ida Gibson a member of our pier family lost her battle with Cancer today....Our thoughts and prayers go out to her husband Gary and their three children and the rest of their family...visitation as I know it will be at Lowes Funeral Home in Burlington on Wednesday at 7pm....and the funeral will be at 11am on Thursday....should I hear of any changes I will let you all know....

Farewell Ida.....August 25th 2008







Look what we saw here on Wednesday....


8/31....Last day of August.....last night we had a few mullet and spots show up and a few people actually did ok fishing....over all still slow....there has been a lot of spanish caught lately most of them tooooooo small to keep....about ever thirty or so you catch you can probably keep one.....a few blues are mixed in not much else going on lately with the occasional sea robin and spadefish still around....a couple of small flounder...and small kings....caught one that was twenty four and three quarters inches long and one today that weighed 11.5 lbs.....did land one large puppy drum that measured thirty inches long that was released....over all still just that time of year....tonight the wind is tough and the water is rough....

9/3.....Believe it or not the water isn't that rough.....the weather is beautiful....the water isn't really clean and there are still some good size swells but considering its nice here today....lots of finger mullet and popeyed mullet running around the pier....spanish and blues showing back up again...spanish are still small....did manage to land a 24 lb king today...good job Mark!!....looks like we may have some wind and rain this weekend....have to wait and see....until then....

9/6....We survived another storm....just got sand blasted....I took a few pictures this morning around 7:30am thought you might enjoy....would have posted sooner but the phone has rung off the hook.....so let me anwser you now....finally got a brave sole out there late this afternoon he told me the crabs wouldnt even steal his bait.....later a couple others showed ...still nothing ....the wind is still blowing and the water is rough as you will see in the pictures below....give it a couple of days to calm down....until then enjoy the pictures.....

Alot of white water....


9/7.....The water is much calmer today but the water is still dirty...still not hearing a great deal of fish being caught yet....a few are showing up (mullet, pompano, black drum, one to small puppy drum....)sorry still NO SPOTS!! the water temp is still warm....give it time....
