Trout were also in numbers that said if you fished long enough from a boat to you would catch a few. Karen Miles fished from a kayak and had several, the heaviest of which weighed three and a half pounds. Pogie pods continued their northern migration along the beach and beneath them were some sharks and large reds. According to National Fisherman, the pogie industry is expecting a lean year to light demand. How this will translate into larger schools remains to be seen, and won t be until at least next year.
Most pogie netting is done from the Carolinas northward.
Margaret Tuttle said that bream and catfishing at the Six Mile Marina dock has been quite good lately. It is easily accessible and is kid friendly. I wish I had seen it earlier and had time to check where it came from and if it had a ticket, but an SUV with a boat trailer was parked on the sidewalk across from the Vilano boat ramp. This is the new sidewalk built this year on the north side of May Street. The driver, apparently not content to park along the southern shoulder, simply chose to straddle the sidewalk lengthwise opposite the ramp.
