Went to St. Andrews today to catch some mullet for red fishing, made two pulls and the dolphins showed up and hit our net. Took our bait to the pier and managed these in about three hours:
Thanks for the report!Update on the oil situation...
It seems that St. Simon's sound is experiencing some oil issues. The have put out floating yellow devices to try to keep it to a minimum at Clam Creek entrance, around Bird Island, and Morningstar Marina, as well as other areas where there are inlets into the marshes. I did not see any evidence of it on the North beach by the pier, but did not get in the water, as we were fishing off the pier and didn't want to sit there with wet clothing on.
We went down to the beach to seine afterwards, but the sand gnats pretty much put an end to that before we even got started, so we went to St. Andrews for our shrimp.
I'd say it's a bit iffy on shrimping the north beach right now until they get the oil situation under control. Do so at your own risk...
On a brighter note, they had around 25 or so people picking up trash on the north beach while we were there. Looks like they got quite a bit from the size and numbers of bags they were carrying off.
