hey wornout, gary's the one that taught me how to catch kings at bayfront almost 30 years ago. he even gaffed my first one( 32#). him, stanley and cory don't fish there anymore. it got to crowded for them, i even quit for several years myself. i still only fish there during the week theres just too many people on the weekends.lots of good memories.

Yesterday, my son and I, went to throw net for menhadden and caught two(yea not just one) 30+ lb black drum. (ripped net all to hell) We went to palafox pier anyway, and a buddy had bait. Balloned first one out, 20 min later, bam, it was a blacktip(2 1/2 ft) Stayed out there till 1pm with bait and ballon.... no bites by anyone. We are gonna try again this morning, will report.(new net)

| Good luck surf and give us a report. I figured all this week would be good. Unfortunately, work keeps getting in the way of me.

| i fished friday (right before the last front came through) and it was nonstop. there was only 2 of us so we would pull our baits in and wait to gaff the other's fish. but even with baits out of the water 80% of the time, we caught 4 kings around 20lbs (one approaching 30) in an hour. in that hour we also lost 2 more. one king we assume was over 30 skied on my bait but couldnt find the hook and we lost another right at the boat that wouldve been somewhere in the 20-25 range. i'm sure if we had other baits in the water and stayed longer, we couldve landed many many more it was nonstop. they ate live minhaden. after we caught those 4, we picked up and ran to garcon point to pick up to redfish before heading back to clean the fish. it was a great day. i did get a report from monday, apparently it has slowed down. i guess they're starting to ead out of the bay. temp is dropping pretty rapidly now. look for some good pier reports in te near future.

| There you go nb, sounds like a good day. I went Sunday 10/19 and went 0-4 with either missed blow-ups or hook pulls. Saw (2) smaller grade fish caught on either side of me. I was at the 3-mile. Dont care for the green meat as table fare but the bite is pretty intense with these bay macs.

Well my son and I tried it again today at the palafox pier. This time we actually caught menhadden in the net(instead of huge black drums) We got out to the pier at 5am, sent out ballons, and expected smokin reels at any moment. Right after sun rise I had a mini blow up, another 2 1/2 ft blacktip shark. We fished till 11 am and called it a day. It figures on my week off the kings wouldnt be there.

one way to try an stop the blacktips is to gaff one pull it up and gut it and dump the guts back in the water and its supposed to give off a scent to scare the other ones away. dont know if it works or not but if not blacktips are plenty good to eat.
