I don't know about most of you out there but some of us see some unusual things on the beaches and in the waters on the Gulf Coast at night.

Like this past Friday I saw an almost all white horseshoe crab in the Tiger Point area of the Santa Rosa Sound and a coyote on Pensacola Beach running down the Sound side last year.

Also found a funeral urn floating in the surf last year and it was not empty.
Spooky.

What weird sights have you seen ?

Was polling along in about a foot and a half of water in the back of Rocky Bayou in Niceville one night, and i suddenly saw about a 5 ft gator suddenly appear under my lights just laying on the bottom minding his business....I went right over it and told my buddy to get the Q beam and shine it down into the water at the back of the boat....He suddenly says ! DAMN ! There are gators back here ? I had to laugh at that !

I wasnt gigging, but went out with my brother one night to a pier on pensacola beach to catch some trout. It was dark at the base of the pier, and as soon as we got out of the truck we could hear the moans of passion rather clear. We waited a minute, trying to figure where it was coming from. From the sounds of it, there was 3 involved. Not wanting to go home without a chance to fish, we walked out on the pier right past them. By the time we got to the end, I could hear a girl ask her partners if "they had been there the whole time?". We kinda chuckled, but they obviously didnt mind our presence. A few minutes later, they started up again! we finally left, and they were still at it hot and heavy.
Thats my most interesting night fishing story so far

Concrete flounder .... BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Reminds me of a trick I do at any house I own.
I stick a quarter to the concrete with epoxy.
Then watch people try to pick it up.
Would work great on the street if you have a spot to watch from.

We were gigging the ICW between the pass and Perdido when we had a beaver come off the bank, make a pass in front of the boat then come back around right under the lights in 2' of very clear water. This had nothing to do with the story above, this was one of those beavers that chop down trees with their teath.

my whopper story

Ok so back in 02' 0r 03' im flounder fishing on the east end jetties on dauphin island. get tired of wading so i climb up on the rocks to take a seat and catch some rays. I set my rod down shimano calcutta and calcutta rod, few minutes later i hear a noise and i see my rod butt entering the water. tried to fish it out... no luck. 3 days later im on the dauphin island pier fishing which has to be 4 miles away or so, and im telling my lost pole story to a group of locals when a guy who overheard our conversation started asking me alot of questions about my story (type of reel, type rod, line etc). I got pissed bc i figured he was tryng to question my sincerity.. few munites later he comes from the parking lot holding my rod and reel. said he had caught it there the day after i lost it and on the other end of my line was...... two foul hooked horseshoe crabs that were stuck togeather and then he ;) at me!!! rumor was it was a 6lb flounder, but he give the rod and reel back!!!
