Thread: Buckeye needs help

Hello my name is Marty been visiting GS/OB area for long time now about 14 years. Someday soon my wife and I hope to be permit residents. I've done the inshore and offshore fishing and enjoy it very much. But my last couple times there I tired the pier fishing and it was awesome for the most part I just watch and learn, still a lot to learn. My Q is each season rewards are different what are your favorites and why?

Welcome to the forum. This is the place for more info than the brain can digest. When you said "Buckeye needs help" I thought you might be the Browns owner looking for a head coach!!! Grew up one block off Lake Erie. Blessed by God with a transfer to Nashville in 85. Fishing help....Pier#r is the name to know. Been fishing the pier for several years but on my Christmas list this year was a day with the man...(#r, I need to reserve Monday May 12th in the AM for "Skinny Water" lesson). Enjoy the many responses you will receive.

Oh, my favorite season...May and Sept...Just before and after room rates go through the roof. Plus the fishing ain't bad either!!!

PS...your in SEC country....ix nay on the uckeye bay thing! It will only bring grief...trust me, I know!!!

Great first post Marty!
Welcome to the forum.

I fish year round and must say EVERY month has its favorites for me.
January: it feels good just to catch a mess of fish...
Whiting will do nicely, they are fun on light tackle and eat great ;-)
February: getting a little warmer and practicing for sheepshead.
March: sheepshead in 'full bloom' along with early spanish mackerel for a 'change of pace' fishing.
April: spring is sprung with spanish & king mackerel, pompano and speckled trout.
May: wide open fishing for just about anything (the lighter tackle the better IMHO ;-)
June: summer fun with mackerels and whatever else wants to come by and play.
July: tarpon roll by...
August: bull reds and jack crevelle along with just about anything else
September: late summer fun with pelagics and resident fish while trying to reason with hurricane season
October: the fall 'fatten up' time for mackerels
November: bull red mania and whiting galore
December: whiting and sheepshead make the transition to winter more tolerable

I had a blast in November with all the big whiting, croakers, and a good number of drum. I always came home with a full ice chest and I still have fillets in the freezer. It was a great time to fish with my son when the whiting were on fire.

October was great to. We caught tons of slot reds in the shallows.

I like all three seasons: Fishing Season, Duck Hunting Season and Auburn Football Season, the latter which overlaps with the other two seasons.

Buckeye, this type of info is why so many people get in line to spend a few hours learning from a pro like Pier#r. If you want to catch fish and learn how to catch them time and time again, definately hire him. The only thing is you shouldn't hire him for the afternoon of April 25th. Hey Pier#r, you available for the afternoon of April 25th

This year I will like the first two weeks in July......because that is when I will be there on vacation.

I will agree as of right now SEC rules and believe me I love to watch Alabama football. But it only took a Big Ten guy "Saban" to get LSU and Bama on the winning track! But that's another story. Go Bucks! I'm not sure when I plan to come down this summer my oldest is working on her doctrine at South Alabama U. Go Jags! Looks like I need to get in touch with this Pier#r fellow?
