Tried a couple old honey holes around the island Sat. Had been years since I was last there. Started at just before low and got the incoming. First spot the swells started rolling in on us and had to pull poles. Shrimp were 6-10 a throw. Spot #2 we were 1.5 into incoming. Had pretty good numbers on 7 poles and really turned on about dark. Four good runs and pooof - they just turned off like a switch. Wind had laid down and was nice. Called it at 8:00pm and headed to house. (3 hrs away) Ended up with a little over a 1/3 cooler. Mixed size - from small all the way to jumbo. Most were med.
Fished a hour or so before shrimping. Wind had shifted SE and was outgoing at time. Mouth of Parrot Ck was like 3-5’@ 2 sec. Re-cal’ed the ol pucker. Oh - and the monkeys were out! Someone also was up on island with what sounded like a 5.62 and made like 7 shots. 5-10 min apart. Could hear the hit too. Don’t know what that was all about.
Someone was on Monkey Island shooting a gun!!! Geez…
^ Bad monkeys!
I’ve heard of monkey island down in hommasassa but didn’t know we had one here. If you don’t mind me asking, where exactly is it?
