Decided to hit the beach today since the weather looked great and I'm limited on opportunities for the next few weeks photographing an African safari.

Drove south from Bob Hall and ended up just a bit south of the northern bollards of PINS. Driving was fair; no sweat in 4 HI but some of the patches could have been a little tough for 4x2's.

Old weed on the beach, very little fresh weed in the surf.

Water clarity wasn't horrible but not great by any stretch of the imagination. I'd say 5-6/10.

Got my first baits in the water a bit after 3pm... shrimp fishbites (pink and flesh colored) led to whiting which led to some cut bait. Worked the wade gut and both sides of the 2nd bar with little luck beside the occasional whiting.

I began to vacillate whether I should head in or not to get some things done... pulled the first rod out of the holder - still deciding in my head what to do - gave the handle a crank and was met by a blistering run south towards Mexico. The fish gods made the stay or go decision for me.

Only took a couple of pics for the day... but here they are.

Jack : 45-46" fork length, weight... dunno, felt heavy. Hit on fishbites.

Headed in shortly before sunset and stopped at "the bowl" to take a couple of pictures. Pretty heavy cloud line was coming in with some thunderheads. Was hoping for some lightning along with the sunset but it didn't happen...

Man there's some depth in that sand dune pic. It almost makes me dizzy. Cool pic. The fish is nice also.
