Fished for the first time at OIP, water was really clear, winds could not make up their mind and were all over the place throughout the day. Lots of reds patrolling the botton near the beach but none eating, most were in the 30" size range. Pompano were fairly consistent all day. Tons of bait everywhere. I got there around 8am and the king run was over but was told there were a few on deck at sunrise. A few Spanish but they were being picky and wouldn't eat either. I mananged to hook up a few pompano but none would stay on the hook long enough to reach the cooler  A kid fishing beside me earlier in the day managed to hook a 6 ft bull shark that he fought for quite a while. Left the pier around 3pm and went to Moes to get a burrito. Over all not a bad Father's Day, btw Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, myself included! I guess it's true what I've heard about fishing when the moon is full, it makes sence since the fish have the extra light at night to feed. The next day they are not even remotely interested in your bait. Additionally there were tons and tons of bait fish everywhere yesterday at OIP and it was a litteral smorgasbord for the bigger fish.
