Am I overly optimistic???
Coming down tomorrow morning for a week. Am I wasting my time packing all my pier and surf tackle? I'm hoping to be able to fish at least sun-tues

wasn't it last year when the big tropical storm came through that people had about two days of great fishing for redfish from the surf...?

Think how you'd feel if a great bite turned on and you had no tackle. It'd make me mad enough to poke a hole in my little granddaughter's dolphin floatie thingy.
The fishing sure can't get a whole lot worse than it has been---lots of room for improvement.Last edited by Haywire; 07-09-2019 at 07:45 PM. Reason: not scared of the dark, scared of what's in it

I see Windfinder.com calls for 11 ft seas on Friday, and rough through the weekend.

Line shyness and terminal tackle shyness is the major reason for little or no bites. Rough seas mean they can't see as well - they still have to eat.

On the bright side, a tropical storm/hurricane should help mix the water and prevent or lessen the effects of a dead zone. It's in the perfect location for that at the mouth of the Mississippi.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
