See you Saturday. JoeFab- Sorry I missed you. Sounds like you enjoyed a typical Merry Pier day. There's always something **amazing** to see, and it's never the same thing twice. A good tarpon fight fits the bill. Glad you enjoyed your St. Pete Beach fishing vacation- now you see why I moved here! Steve Mike- You’ve got mail. See you Saturday.

I got to spend about 6 hours on the pier fishing. It was a great experience. I caught at least 7 different types of fish including Mangroves, small grouper, tilefish, grunts, pinfish, something that looked like an Angelfish, Mackeral and a couple of others that I have no clue what they were. I hooked into a couple of big fish right under the docks (Snook?), but both broke me off rather quickly. Just an FYI, the rental tackle from the bait shop is not the best...:) All in all it was a great time. I even got to see a pod of Tarpon come swimming by as well as a big ole Manatee (hey us Northerners get excited by that kind of stuff). The highlight of the day i must say was watching some guy out on a boat hook and fight two massive Tarpon. To see those big beautiful fish leave the water time and again was a sight to behold! Of course it made me a bit jealous, until I looked at my tackle and realized the fight would have been very short lived... I also got to have dinner with the family at The Hurricane and watch a sunset. St. Pete Beach is a great vacation spot, and I am looking forward to my next chance to come down. Next time I will have to make sure i have more time to fish!!! Thanks for all of the info and tips!!! Sorry we did not have a chance to meet up last week.

You should see my "garbage man tan". I was going to come down Sunday, and see if you were hanging around, but I ended up sleeping from 4 PM on Saturday night until 9 AM on Saturday, and after that, there was no way Sarah was going to let me out of the house! Shoot me an e-mail with your cell number, so I can throw it in my phone. I'm looking forward to this weekend, and this time, bait and beer is on me. I'll even bring my own tackle! (Holy hell flourocarbon is expensive!) Anyway, if I don't speak to you beforehand, I will most likely see you Saturday! - Mike Steve,
