Thread: Was coming down Feb. 18

For the second year in a row we won't be able the trip down. Yesterday my wife fell at work and broke both of her arms. Last year I had to have back surgery. We sure were looking forward to coming down to visit and enjoy the beach and pier. Well maybe next year.

We'll look forward to seeing you next year, then! I know you're disappointed, but maybe those permit will have grown up and the flounder and pompano released from the hatchery will be catchable size then. If that's the case, it'll be a fishing bonanza when you get here. Take care of yourself and your wife in the interim. I'll try to keep posting reports whenever I go to the pier.

Since you mentioned the Hatchery was wondering if anybody has ever taken the tour? Talked to two guys on the pier the other day that work there. They were there to help back flush the line that pumps water to them. Some where by the Airport. They said it was on Wednesdays.

Yes I have taken the tour. Excellent, very interesting, good work they’re doing. Highly recommend.

I hope she recovers quickly and fully.

We have a hatchery? Sorry for the thread derail.

Praying for her recovery!!

Now that's cool!

My wifes breaks are such that she won't have to wear casts. That means we might be able to come down first part of March for a couple weeks. At that time how is the spring break crowd. My wife is concerned that we will be coming into a party circus.

Only if you stay around "The Hangout" or other public beaches.
The pier and park are a bit busier than average, but still a VERY pleasant atmosphere in GS/OBch...
