Palofox Pier

MillerLicous · 08-15-2008, 09:06 PM

Me and my buddy Brandon went out last night around 9:30 to the Palofox pier.....Ended up buying some shrimp and went to town on the fish.....Several black snapper, lots of white trout (never would eat one in the past but figured what the heck), blue fish, red fish, lots of mullet, one ribbon fish.....Well we had a real good time ended up staying till about nine the next morning and no one had got a king bite just lots of spinner sharks out there....Well we had a blast and wish everyone good luck and keep the lines tight!!!!!

You talking about downtown palafox pier??

Matt, we use to catch tons of whites off the deep hole at NAS where the Lex use to dock back in the 90s on our 1st little ski boat. They're quite good IF you cook them quickly. We tried to never freeze them. Usually, we'd beach the boat and clean fish while the boys played in the water off McCree or ski beach. I'd cook them the next day and they were good. Definantly not the best seafood of the area but quite edible!

Glad you had good luck!! :clap
