Great weather, tide and wind not bad, a bit of chop.
Had a full day.
There were three red skiffs, four kayaks and two float tubes pounding a certain dock...not much happening there and everyone left.
Except me...got a bite as I was leaving and hung around a while....and the USN security boat came on shift. When he motored up I had just snagged a lure in some eelgrass, and went even close to the dock to get it free. The guy beeped his siren a couple times...I guess he figured I was ignoring him. As I got the lure free, he motored up and gave the a 50 cal stinkeye, and shut off the motor to holler at me.
"This isn't quite 300 feet, is it?"
"No."
"I'm out of here, then. Have a good one. "
Anyway I covered a lot of water and only got eight spotties.
Four of these..this one was nearly 20 inches long...
Got a flash of silver...expecting a corvina but nope.
and finally...an existential question.

Re: Tidelands....a nice ride....
The few times I have gotten too close to the Navy docks they have always 1st asked me how the fishing was before telling me to leave.

Re: Tidelands....a nice ride....
To be fair, the first time he blipped the siren at me I waved and gave him a thumbs-up...meaning I'd be leaving. But at the time, I was snagged in the eelgrass within ten feet of the Navy dock, and was in the process of pulling the line free. From his POV, it looked like I was continuing to fish...Midnightpass wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 5:42 am Nice fishing…. The 50 cal stinkeye doesn’t sound vey neighborly…
