Another Day at Ft. Pickens

Didn't get "spooled" today but, didn't get those big boys on the line either.  I had only one bite and had started reeling something in on my new braided, 50 pound test line but, when I had brought it in more than halfway, whatever had been on the line just dropped off -- my guess it was just a large horseshoe crab and it left my bait and tackle intact.

It was quite a lot cooler this morning and the north or northwest winds kept me chilly most of the 3 hours that I fished from the same spot.  After wading into the waters to cast beyond the sand bar, it would take quite awhile just to get my feet dry and warm again -- had to put my courdoroy pants on (over my bathing suit) and sandals too after each trip onto the sand bar.

When I first arrived at the same spot this morning, there was a boat in the shallow waters and the people were just pulling away from the shore after doing whatever they might have been doing.  No one else was on the beach again other than those in the boat.  I believe their activities over the spot I had fished the day before may have scared off any fish that might have been hanging around.

Maybe I will return there again one more time before leaving the area -- mid week, next week perhaps when the weather is expected to be better and the fishing too.
