Still around?

Yes - not fishing much lately but hope to start soon - car and family (mother) health issues prior to COVID. Been tying a little bit. Had a few trips in March before the COVID hit but didn't do much. Hoping SGI opens up soon.

Glad to see. Parks open Monday, so SGI, should be good to go. I slip over there time to time and fish the east end. Usually hit Dog Island at same time, usually during the week. Can't do it now because Carabelle ramp is closed to non residents. Hope you get out soon.

Any of you guys still hitting the lighthouse bars on Sunday mornings ?

Apparently SGI, didn't make the first wave of openings. My bad.

So did you find out the hard way ?

I got out to the refuge yesterday - not to many people early but by the time I got in, it was crowded. Fishing wasn't that great - managed a 19" trout, a 16" flounder and a ladyfish in a couple of hours. Nice to get out, but with the refuge one of the few public places open, the week-end crowds are a little too much. May take a week-day off and try unless SGI opens up.

Good deal, yeah I refuse to go out on the water til the crowds are down but I booked a trip last night so I have to get back practicing. Black clouser ?

No, read the news release and went to park internet site. Son and I fished Sat. Regular armada out there. He did great on spinning rod with several mid twenties trout, a 28+" red, a red in the box, a couple trout in the box, a surprise pompano . All I could manage on the fly were lady's, a Spanish, and a bluefish, but being able to still fish with son is still the best catch.
