Larry had to deal with another water line break yesterday. As the palm trees get bigger and the water lines get older, the roots seem be causing more and more havoc.
The water has cleared up considerably and the tide has been low. This makes for interesting fishing off the pier as you can see clearly if anything is feeding under the lights at night. What I have noticed is the trout have been staying out of the brightest parts of the lights and lingering at the edges. Sometimes this poses a problem in throwing a lure far enough to reach the trout. I did catch a keeper Monday evening on a clear DOA, but others were small. I did catch a record, for me, flounder in the mitigation site. I was using a gold spoon. I should have taken a picture. How this 5 inch flounder got that spoon in his mouth was a real trick. Actually he had mainly just the hook, but even that was a stretch.
Some owners have asked about new screen doors. We used to have Rudy Nava do them for $120. I have not been able to contact him, but Rockport Glass has been doing some for $227. I contacted Fowler Lumber and they will sell one for $104 without the center spreader bar or for $124 with the bar. For owners who need one, this may be the best price at this time.
