Alright, how about we post pics up of ourselves with fish from the pier, so we can put a name with a face? Dont matter if your from Okaloosa ( i fish it the most ) pensacola, whatever... Just think it will be cool to see who is on the forums that you didnt know before.
I'm not exactly a regular, but I go from time to time; this is my first ling from last year; didn't get to go this year (moving and work), but I hope to go more from now on...
live bull minnows i lost a stud right before we left no net so i tried to reel him up but without that wind i couldn't do it you should of seen the first 2 i caught the wind made them fly like kites above the pier i never had to bring down a flounder before.
It's a Texas setup for lack of a better term. The Newell 546 is on a hoss 10 ft Allstar rod rated at 40-60lb loaded with a whole lot of 50lb test. I think that was about an 8 ounce chunk of lead. I usually don't fish on the bottom around here but I brought it out last winter when the Big Bulls were running, just for fun.
My name is Matthew Vermilliano(Formerly May) I worked at Navarre Pier the last year it stood. I know alot of you for sure but I thought I'd post it's been a while and I have been fishing Okaloosa pier all this year.
