We need to recruit some more poor folks to give surf reports. I am headed to St. George Island on Monday any word on what's biting and on what. If not stay tuned I will have it figured out by Tuesday evening.

I will be fishing in and offshore out of SGI using the ramp near the east end of the island. Not much surf fishing, but I will happily report what we get into.

I will be heading down mid-late week next week and will add my two cents when possible. Probably not surf fishing but staying on east end, bay side with boat. Good luck!

We fished a few public reefs south of SGI and did well. Trolled up two king macks to start the day off, lost a nice cobia at the boat when it shook the hook, gag, and caught a cooler full of snapper. Also worked a 7 ft Mako next to the boat before it broke us off. Things got hairy around 4pm when we decided to pack it in. We had to go straight thru the storm which wasn't fun but all went well.

I hear the Pomps are there... Let us know.

I heard some anchored at the cut on falling tide and caught pomps.

Cooler full of snapper? Mangs? Care to elaborate?

Mango. Sorry for the tease. We limited out with four people in the boat. This is all we could fit on he cleaning table.

Nice mess there Timmy!

Anyone been fishing at the east pass lately? I've done a lot of fishing at SGI, but never been to the east pass. Has anyone ever put a kayak in at the east pass?

Going to SGI in late May. Will be taking a small boat and a Kayak. Staying at the park. Any recomendations where to fish bay side? Thanks

That's a good haul Timmy!!! I could be wrong, but those mangs look a little like grunts to me. Both tasty tho. Congrats

hmm. maybe so. they are tasty either way...

When's the fish fry?

The pompano were on fire this past Friday. Caught about 20, 6 were keepers. Waded out to first sandbar and was pulling them in almost as soon as I got back to the beach. Used a pompano jig with frozen shrimp. Saturday and Sunday the surf was rough - just a few cats. Fished the cut Friday and Sunday - not much - a bunch of small rock bass and a cat. I didn't see anyone catch anything worth mentioning at the cut. The pompano were tasty...
