Ended up being a waste of time. Got up at 0430 to beat the Beach to Bay crowd. Stopped off at a little hole and got about a dozen finger mullet in two casts. Then hauled supple bum to the island. Picked up some ice and dead shrimp on the way. The traffic was already starting on the island at 0530 as I passed Padre Balli Park, but I got through without much delay. Next stop was about 17 miles down PINS. Water was very dirty, about 3 inches of visibility and moderate weed in the surf. Put out a finger mullet on the big pole and then rigged up a small pole to try to get some whiting. Ended up catching 3 hardheads back to back and the big pole wouldn't stay out due to weed build up. So, packed it up and headed just north of the 15 mile marker. Same story there. Caught a hardhead and pole washed in, so I packed it in and headed to the 10 mile marker. This time I didn't bother with the big pole and ended up catching two more hardheads. Interesting thing though at the 10 or 15 I did have something grab my shrimp and pull hard. At first I thought it was some seaweed on my line being sucked into a wave, but it kept pulling. Ended up pulling the hook. After the 10 I then headed to the 8 mile marker and this time changed my 4 ounce breakaway weight to a 6 ounce claw weight to try to hold in place. It worked better but still not great. Caught a couple more hardheads. Finally, for PINS, I headed all the way to the 3 mile marker and tried both poles again. Same as before, nothing but seaweed and hardheads. By this time I was very frustrated as I had covered 14 miles of beach and the only thing biting was hardheads! So, I packed it in again and headed north to Mustang Island at the Fish Pass jetties. Threw my line in and hooked a hardhead... I headed home.
