Pier Newbie Headed Down and Pumped

I am leaving Memphis tomorrow morning and heading straight to J&M. I usually only surf fish, but John turned me on to the forum and I am already "hooked" on pier fishing. I am going to fish the pier early Thursday and Friday. That way I can still hang with the fam during day, and learn the ropes hopefully before things are too crowded. Is there a certain time the fish start turning on? How early is a good time to get out there as I will probably need some tips from the regulars. I have been trying to learn all I can from the forum, and will get a crash course from John tomorrow. Any instruction or heads up will be gladly received. Look forward to joining the community. See you soon! :yippee:

I'l be there thursday for sure, if fish are there they will normally feed right at daylight, and then periodic feeds throughout the day. If you get there before the sun goes down tomorrow swing by the pier, dont even have to bring anything, just walk out and watch and introduce yourself.

I'l be out there tomorrow and thursday.
Good luck!

I will be there before sun up Friday!! I will be on the OCTI Kinging It!! Look Forward to meeting you!!

can't ask for much better help..... then that offered.....good luck and have fun :yippee: :fishing:

You already figured out step one (the most important question) you ask for help.

[size=12pt] I don’t normally do early unless the freezer inventory is getting low, but who knows. Hope to see ya on the rail, and don’t forget about the picnic on Saturday ay noon; it is a family thang!
Oh yeah, Peaches is easy to spot, he is the dude with the one wheeler!

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome. I will definitely be looking everyone up on the rail and octi.

I saw a yellow wagon cart with a flat today, hope he got a tow!

glad i'm not the only one :headbang: :headbang:

[size=12pt]I think a fella with a tow rope and a bicycle pump could make a couple extra bucks. .
I have had people ask me if a I had a tire pump on my cart a couple times; don’t know why they would think I had one. :o
