Went to Folly this morning and caught a few fish in the surf on the outgoing tide. Just small stuff: Red, whiting, and blues, along with a couple of shark pups, all on frozen shrimp. Family is in town so decided to try again tonight at the pier.
Got to the pier around 7:45, to find near identical conditions as the morning: Overcast, with an outgoing tide. First cast out on my standard fishfinder rig, I had something massive grab my bait and go. Ran in toward shore and then stopped dead by a piling on the pier. A few folks said I was hung on the piling but my line was in the water a good yard and a half from the pier. My thought is a large ray of some sort, since they can lay down in the sand and be impossible to move. He snapped a circle hook in half, whatever he was. After that the bite quieted down to just a few whiting, though it seemed others may have been catching more. All in all, a pretty good night.
