Made it home: Saying goodbye and fishing questions.

[Chris Havoc]

we've been fishing cat alot lately first thing in the morning. go around to the south side of the island closer to the western tip and drift(if you dont have a trolling motor) or wade. we usually like to wade in that area, but its easily fished from a boat as well. Also, just off the western tip there is a wreck/old weather station that we tie up too and have caught fish. Once it gets hot around mid morning, we try to troll all along the southern and eastern sides of the island. We ALWAYS pick up tons of lady fish doing it,and spanish mackeral, triple tail, caught several pompano last weekend too trolling around cat. but hey, if the fish arent biting, you can always hit the beach, catch some rays and drink a few cold beverages. You can get live bait at joshuas at gulfport harbor and at the long beach harbor I know for sure. Oh and keep a close eye on your depth finder around the island, there are several sand bars just off the beach all the way around, especially on the north side. Depending on wind and water clarity, they can be hard to see at times. Not too much floating debris in recent months, main thing to watch out for are the sandbars. Goodluck coach, I hope you guys have a great trip.....we may even see ya out there bright and early monday morning!!
