Inshore Variety
I managed to spend a few hours both Saturday and Sunday with the gang at the Merry Pier. While fishing was not exactly spectacular, there were a fair amount of fish caught – but the variety of species was impressive. I saw:
-A 32″ over-the-slot Redfish
-A couple dozen Mangrove Snapper, to 15″
-A nice Bluefish
-LOTS of Flounder – mostly small, but a few to 15″
-Several Bonnethead Sharks
-A few decent Gag Grouper
-A couple of Sheepshead (nobodywas really targeting them)
-A few decent Macks
-The usual Pinfish, Puffers, Lizardfish and Grunts

Note to self.
If no one is targeting sheepshead and catching them anyway then Mary’s Pier = good sheepshead hole.

I have tried 30lb spiderwire and while my set up casted it fine I was having troubles with the line snapping on cast.
