View from our window :)

I was instructed that I would be going shopping in the morning for more appropriate "beach wear"   ???  :)

I went back and looked and didn't see anything wrong with your beach wear.  :)  OK, you gotta go to the outlet mall anyway.  Heck there is a Tool Store nearby!   ;D

Cutoff overalls aren't appropriate beachwear?  They are in MS ;D

My in-laws lived there on Marina Rd back in the day. We said he made Cap'n Ahab look like a weekend fisherman. We would not come back in empty handed, some days I did wonder if we were going to come in though  :D

SS14,

   By appropriate attire, since you are in Ala, is go find you a nice AU baseball cap. That will qualify as anything from beach to formal attire in Ala.

Danny, that is a good red fish.  DanG things aren't the fastest of creatures but they pull like mules.  Looks like the Ocean is churned up a bit.  I hope to break away for a few days near the end of the week to fish in the salty water.

Sawmill14, did you get the legs of your overalls cutoff so that you would be in appropriate beach attire next time you hit the shore?

And my big fish  :D ;D at least for the hour I got to fish  ;D but the Spanish mackerel  are running good I bet they caught 75 while is was down there so I went to tackle shop and got some rigs and I'm fixing to try them here in a few minutes

Those Spanish like stuff shiny, fast and erratic. 

We catch them most often on free lined white bait on a 1/0 long shanked hook with mono or fluorocarbon 20 lb leader to 8-12lb clear main line.  With plenty of  baitfish the mackerel can be chummed into a frenzy.  For artificial baits; white jigs, silver spoons, shiny swimming lures (Rattle Traps, Bomber Long A's, Mirrolures) work well but we usually don't use them because they will get taken away eventually.

The Tool Store should be behind the Coleman Store.  Not in the outlet mall but on the highway just North of the outlet mall.
