Lots of great fishing last weekend… very little, though, in the way of catching. I was joined Saturday on Merry Pier by my fiance, “V”, for some early morning snapper fishing. We got a few, saw a few snook caught, and watched an amazing sunrise. A great way to start a weekend, but no fish for the cooler.

Sunday proved to be more of the same, as Mike and I plugged away… snookless. We tried to shake things up with artificials; a bit of beach fishing; we even hit the Jetty. Nothing (‘cept a few small snapper and grouper).

So, now the planning. Should I:

-Hit John’s Pass for big snook at sunrise?

-Try the mini-parks between 76th Ave and 79th Ave?

-Keep beating the dead horse at Merry Pier?

-Camp out on the beach for cocktails, sunshine, and surf fishing?

-Do Ft. Desoto; either wading the flats, or hitting the Pier?

-Stake out a spot on the Skyway?

-Something else?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Just leave a comment in the “Comments” section. Thanks!
