Report from Pierfishing.com:
Fished the MDR bait docks with a friend from around 10:30 to 2 today. We arrived to find Buddhists there releasing bait fish for their monthly ceremony. It was certainly awkward to start hooking fish right in front of them, but we just did our thing and they did theirs--no problems. One of the Buddhists came by and started up a conversation with us where he revealed that they paid $3200 for today's ceremony. Nice guaranteed money for the bait guys and a king's meal for the marina's underwater inhabitants.
But onto the fishing... We had a good number of short bites whether using carolina rigged live sardines or swimbaits. The rake marks were familiar. Sure enough, switched over to krocs and came up with barracudas. Most were of the "scooter" variety, but one actually gave me a good hustle.
Beautiful weather, fun fishing.
Buddhist group chanting... Ohm...
My own release party... Ohm...
