Thread: Don't cry because it's over..

(temporarily), smile because it happened... let's see some of your favorite pictures, include a story or either by themselves.

This is from July 21, 2013. One of my all time favorites

Time will pass more quickly than you believe possible. Treasure and share your memories and post some reports on alternative locations that you try. The older you become the faster time seems to just disappear.

So many good times and good fish caught on the pier over the past 10 1/2 years (and the 'old pier' before that).
I will leave it with one of my most recent memories, and look forward to the next great one in a couple of months...

Anybody out there with a nice boat? I'll be your friend if you have a boat. The bigger the boat, the better friend I'll be----at least until the pier reopens.

I'm your huckleberry George. It will cost you the numbers we fish.....

From my all-time favorite day on the pier, July, 2018. All 3 of my boys and a SIL were on the octi and all stayed hooked up all morning long as fast as I could bait them up.

I was there, it was a heck of a day. I don't think your feet ever touched the decking.

September 2019 "Salty Kidz" tournament on the pier.
I helped Damien (a wonderful young man from Boys & Girls Club) catch his first spanish mackerel.
He did not want to touch it "because of those mean lookin teeth", but took it home and ate it for supper!



I hope we get to do this tournament again this summer...

David Lea: "I was there, it was a heck of a day. I don't think your feet ever touched the decking." We caught kings, reds, jacks, and of course dealt with the ever present sharks. If I remember you were doing some work with that olive xrap #14, too. My oldest granddaughter was on the octi but not fishing, just catching bait:

No picture available.
It was the morning of one of the pier picnics, I was casting a little gold Gotcha and catching Spanish.
A big Poon ate it, I got four jumps out of him before he almost spooled me and I finally broke him off.
If I had caught nothing else that day I would still have been a happy fisherman.
