8/5.....Tonight is the night to king fish all night....if you are going to do it....you have the full moon the weather is ok and had a Tarpon hit last night and it ran for about 10 mins so they are around......the guys caught one king yesterday and one so far today.....seeing a few mullet and spots still....so things are still pretty normal out there....the wind has picked up a bit....hopefully it will lay down around dark like usual so the guys will have a decent night to try....good luck to each of them .....
The King Tournament ends on Sunday the 9th at sunset.....as for The Mike Martin Tournament is it just a little over a week away.....Pre-Registration is going well hopefully everyone will have a chance to attend it looks to be a lot of fun again this year....Remember there will be no king fishing at all that weekend of the tournament....king fishing will end at dark on Friday night and begin again at noon on Sunday for those interested in king fishing......
8/9.....Caught 5 kings today largest 31 lbs.....Pam finally caught her first and her second .....good day for the Helms household.....need to tighten up James...
8/12......Oh did I mention there is a fishing tournament this weekend???....With some help I have managed to collect enough door prizes to give away 3 every hour from 7am -10pm on Saturday and 7am-2pm on Sunday....We've gotten some good stuff too......the weather is suppose to be in the mid eighty's .....calling for only a 20% chance of rain....so that sounds normal nothing unusual about that.....Still seeing the usual summertime mix of fish.....so it should be a good weekend....Updates are going to be slow for the next week or so be patient or call the pier for the updates.....will be glad to give it to you on the phone you know.
8/18....The Weekend was wonderful sunny and warm.....there were enough fish around to make things interesting.....We had a wonderful turnout for the Tournament..... lots of really great door prizes thanks to all our sponsors.....I do believe a good time was had by all.....only a few problems that needed to be addressed.....There was no speckled trout caught so next year he will be worth $1000.00 .....I am working on a Tournament page of pictures....gonna take me a few days so don't rush me....I downloaded from 5 cameras 1065 pictures....gonna take a day or two to sort through them all....but I will and you will get to see them soon......if you have any pictures you would like to share please e-mail them to me so that they can be added (pier_witch@yahoo.com).
There has only been one king to hit the deck today and 2 lost around he pilings that I'm aware of....also weighed in one spanish at 4.68 lbs...still the normal summertime mix....one of these and one of those....maybe a few of these after dark...
Not much to tell you about out there....we had the gentle giant Hurricane Bill pass by us .....saw a few big swells a little spray through the boards and out at the end of the pier for the most part you wouldn't have known anything different going on out there if not for the news reports......lots of spectators around not alot of fisherman....so cant really give you any kind of fishing report....the ones out there aren't coming back telling me anything.....its really just that time of the year....water is warm.....things are just calm and quiet and will be for another couple weeks or until the highs are no longer in the 90's ......There are lots of yellow butterflies around ....even seeing them on the back dune....but I hear they don't count unless a certain individual seems them....and well he cant because he's not exactly in town at the moment....so maybe in a couple of weeks the spots will be around.....here's to wishful thinking right....
8/26.....You can tell that school has started back.....kinda quiet out there.....we have had an abundance of kids here this summer and now they are all back in school....the days are hot the nights are muggy....seeing only a few fish....mullet, blues, and spots.....I spent the last couple of days out there and I can tell you that the fish are far and few between....and we didn't see any bait running down the beach either....now they are threatening us with another tropical weather system due for the weekend....doesn't really look like its going to amount to much but like always things can change....but the most we will probably see is cloudy skies bigger surf and maybe a rain drop or two....and hopefully have a breeze....but you know how it is things could change in hours .....
8/30...Things are still kinda quiet out there....seeing a spot and mullet once in a while after dark....and heard of a few blues this afternoon....things still kinda normal out there waiting on some cooler weather to liven up the fishing....its coming....the weather man is suggesting some cooler weather for the coming week....
9/2...Starting to see more and more Va. Mullet after dark with a few spots mixed in .....still not enough to brag about in the day light hours....the crowds are small and quiet and the weather is cooler....getting to be that time......Look what I found on the flowers out the back door...
09/09/09....Sorry the weekend was busy....and we actually had some fish too....then we had all that rain and then I couldn't get on-line....you should have been able to hear me hollar...AAAHHHH!!!!! .....So now I'm on line again.... and I can tell you what we had over the weekend......we had some spots, mullet, pompano, and blues....some had coolers full others just had dinner...depended on what you were fishing with and where you were doing the fishing.......past few nights we have seen a few spots and mullet and still seeing a few blues....the fish aren't as plentiful as the weekend... but they are still around....and picky too....they want bloodworms...the weekend is shaping up and looking promising .....
Sterling with a cooler full of spots mullet pompano and flounder he and Chris caught

Through out the day we are catching pompano and flounder(pictured below are Courtney and Sidney with a flounder and Pompano)... and still seeing a few blues and spanish......Usually after it gets dark we start to see the spots and mullet move in......Friday night they did outstanding.....Saturday night was a bit slower but the bite started around am on Sunday morning.....from what I hear now they are still seeing a few spots now......
There have been a couple of kings caught this past week one yesterday and one the day before....Some other things you might find interest in are ....they caught a Palometa...(pictured below for those not familar) we dont usually see these here....seeing Albacore running off the end along with Tarpon....
