Short trip and not a whole lot to report. Actually hit the beach late tuesday night and was met with high tides all the way to the dunes. Stayed just off the pavement and had a great night going to sleep listening to the surf. Woke up the next morning and started the journey. Tide was out and the driving was fantastic!!! I stopped occasionally and never found a spot to fish that wasnt to weedy. There was mullet but the water looked pretty bad anyway. After a morning of fighting the weed and roaming around the dunes and beach I made it to the jettys. Weed wasn't bad there but water didn't look good. The mullet were thick on the surf side along the rocks and I had high hopes. I ended up spending the afternoon catching a truckload of lady fish. Nothing to bring home but a blast to catch on topwaters!!!

I parked and made my litte camp right at the start of the jetties. At dark I decided I would just hunker down and wait for that front to come in. Boy did it ever show up! Not sure what time it got there but those winds were ripping when it did. Thursday morning sure made me question my decision to go all the way down. The tide was crazy high, wind seemed hurricane force, water crashing over the rocks, it was BAD!!! The tides eventually went back out though and I made a break for it around 11:00. Made it off no problem and can't wait to go back when the conditions are a litte better. I had a great time even though I didn't catch any of the fish I was after!

I did find something around the 20 that I will gladly return to the owner if they give me a description. Probably been lost a week or two.

I watched the front roll in from the Omni Bayfront, and I am certainly glad I was there and not the MANSFIELD JETTIES!!! Shocked

That's some major sphincter pucker factor right there. Glad you made it out in one piece.

Other than the "thing" at the 20's you are trying to return, any good stuff to report? I found a HUGE drum skull the other day that was nicely cleaned and has zero smell. When you shake it, the otoliths (I presume) rattle around. I can only imagine how big those are. Beachcombing, for me, has been fair to poor lately.
