Get more peple to help you carry it and have your phone on you for when your ready to get out. My brother live right across via deluna a mile west of the peir when I was a kid and we used to carry his jon boat over and hand lauch.Great fishing , just watch the weather.

I wouldn't try all the way to the peir....I have gone to the MASS. with my 14 ft'r....but it has a 35 on it and could move if need be.....The pass gets really rocky....I would stick to inshore w/ a 14 ft'r.....

Yeah I probably will stay around NAS next time. It was an ok ride out there but I know it gets rough. Are there any good places to fish near fort pickens? We were fishing there for a bit with lys but no luck really...

Death From Above

Fish around the fuel dock west of Sherman Cove.

fish around the 3mile bridge at night, alot of posts on the bull reds, if you got a net, catch some menhaden up in buyou taharand use for bait use 20#test rods , 50#mono for leader so you dont ever have to retie in the dark and a 4/0 circle hook. cut the bait in half or just use it whole. hang over the side using like a 2oz wieght or so and just hang out. good luck,

and ps

QUIT TRYING TO GET HURT!!! I used to sneak my 17' bass boat out and fish the bouy line for mackrel. had the boat almost sunk running back from the pass to the 3mile bridge in ruff water. hull filled with water from splash over and the builge failed from a old piece of carpet. wouldn't even plain out any more so much got in it and it was powered with a 135. please take the advice, in another month or so the kings will be in the bay heavy I hear the spanish are already doing well in the bay.

Yea I will try to use my head next time lol. I'm still young and daring I guess. Also when we went out there outside the pass my buddy some how hit the throttle long story short my line got caught all in the prop. I had to jump off the boat to untangle it and got stung by a bunch of jelly fish. But it was my biggest catch yet a 100 + pound 20hp mercury...lol

Murphy's Law

Glad your having fun with what you have man. Just be safe and pick your days to run INSIDE the pass. We are just trying to look out for you. Hope to see some fishing reports from ya soon. :toast

I run a 14 foot Sea ark out the pass from time to time. You cant run a john boat out there without beefing it up. Our sea ark has reinforced ribs, and from the bow back about 8 feet is and aluminum skeleton and a deck. I would also not suggest anything like a Lowe, or those kinds of john boats, they are made for rivers. Make sure you have a radio, a reliable motor, WAY more than enough gas, spark plugs (if you have a 2S), and a life jacket right by you. I had was crossing the pass one day and it was pretty choppy, not to mention the 450 bertram passing me on one side and the cabin cruiser on the other side, which made a great set of wakes to deal with. When in doubt, plow the boat right before it gets on plane to where the bow is really up in the air. If your gonna do it, know your boat, and know how to handle what might happen.
