Good luck JC!!! Send a report. I plan to be out there Saturday evening myself. Bass fishing has been excellent the last few visits there.

3 baracuda, and 2 sandies. The baracuda where at the mouth of the harbor on a silver and black frenzy minnow. The sandies where around the docks on a 3inch christmas tree big hammer.

Thanks for the report JC. The weather looks a bit ominous for tomorrow but I'll play it by ear. Good to see some Barries hanging around.

Out at Coast Guard Beach this AM about 7:20, fishing toward the Grand Canal on Ocean side of island. Blown off water by 10:30 (actually I came in before it got very bad). One mack on Gulp smelt and one unidentified on cut sardine. If I were in Caribbean I would say it was a sqirrelfish.. Somewhat mack type mouth, pinkish lateral thin-line stripes, Much longer than deep (2.5 to1?). Any ideas?

Was it similar to these fish or do you have a pic?
