Just got back from Grassy Point. No mullet seen in wading distance. We walked down to the mouth of Fundy Bayou and someone put up a booby trap made of broken bottle bottoms standing up where their property line's fence meets the shore line - not cool.

Luckily I noticed it. A gentleman at the campground offered us some mullet he caught earlier but I didn't see him when we got back 30 minutes before dark (Thank you anyway sir!).

Oh well, got to spend time with my son, throw my net a bit and get some exercise.

I throw my net in one hand like that Captain Jeff "lunker dog" or whatever that guy is on youtube so I have trouble casting when wading past knee deep.

I'm open to any and all suggestions if anyone has had any luck recently. I've got to repair my '77 35 evinrude's foot so I can get back on the bow (poping out of gear). Thank you to the kind people who have offered fishing location suggestions!

Yeah that's not cool at all !!!! Think I would have had to clean them up and throwed them in their yard if I knew for sure they did some crap like that. Glad you nor your son stepped on them. Sorry you didn't get into the mullet. I'll send you a pm with a couple of other spots.

See if you can get to where you can throw your net in waist deep water. Being limited to knee deep water really cuts your fishing area off bad.

Those bottles must have been placed there by some kids playing or something (I hope). It was in the grass next to a tree you have to walk around right by the waters edge but I moved them into the thick brush. It's about 5:45 am I'm going to try a few spots this morning. I usually find it hard to sit in one spot for more than an hour but I'm going to try my patience and see if I get lucky!

Limit is 50 per person. Vessel limit changes from 50 to 100.

Well, yesterday (Sunday) I tried the North end of the Pensacola beach bridge (opposite the toll booth side) for a couple hours, then Pickens pier for a couple hours and then the small causeway bridge in Navarre for a couple of hours. All I saw was one mullet about an hour in at the first spot. I saw nothing at Pickens but when I got there a guy was loading up about a 5 foot black tip shark. I think I saw a sheepshead in Navarre and that's it. I haven't done a whole lot of salt water fishing in my life but I just started pretty heavy this past June when I got my boat in the water. There seemed to be something in the water at all times you know at least croaker or pinfish or something. I was trolling along the north shore of East Bay in the flats and there was activity everywhere for months. I need to fix my motor and head back out there I guess but I have a feeling It's going to be the same with no activity. Is this common for this time of year or have I just had really bad luck?

Cant help alot with the mullet, but I once had the same problem with the outboard. I had a late 70s Johnson that would jump out of gear and got some advice from a older guy at a boat launch. I simply strapped the shift lever forward with a bungee and ran it for several more years without problems. Not a permanent fix of course, but it kept me on the water when I was a poor college kid. I remember he also said that you could reverse the gears in the lower unit. It would still probably jump out in reverse, but not in forward if it is not worn to badly.
