After the fronts come through, the weather moderates and some fishing success was possible. Both regulars and visitors caught fish, with plenty of variety of species available.

We are still seeing a lot of Spanish Mackerel action first thing in the morning. The Macks have been hitting free-lined shrimp, small minnows, or plugs that mimic those small fish. We have also seen a smattering of [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2010/07/hot-summer-hot-fishing-at-pier-60/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2009/11/fishing-on-pier-60-was-hot/ http://pier60fishing.com/2009/11/fishing-on-pier-60-was-hot/#comments Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:33:32 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=424 The weather in October was sweltering, and the fishing on Pier 60 was HOT! Spanish Mackerel continue to be caught starting at first light, and throughout the day. The Mackerel feed best on live minnows caught on the Pier, but will also take a lure, live shrimp, or strip bait. Most of the fish have [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2009/11/fishing-on-pier-60-was-hot/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2009/05/spanish-mackerel-reliable-catch-this-month/ http://pier60fishing.com/2009/05/spanish-mackerel-reliable-catch-this-month/#comments Sun, 24 May 2009 02:01:32 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=192 Fishing in May on Pier 60 has been very good for a variety of species. As water temperatures reached the high-70’s, the most reliable daytime catch has been spanish mackerel. Some of the fish were up to 23 inches, and many anglers took home a limit of 15 fish. Mangrove snapper action has been spotty, [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2009/05/spanish-mackerel-reliable-catch-this-month/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2009/04/snook-fishing-tips/ http://pier60fishing.com/2009/04/snook-fishing-tips/#comments Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:49:24 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=165 Fishing in April has been decent when the weather cooperated. There were a couple of late-season cold fronts that pushed though, and some winds that turned the Gulf of Mexico into a mass of whitecaps. Temperatures sank into the low 70′s during the days, but there were still quite a few good fishing days and [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2009/04/snook-fishing-tips/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2009/04/recent-catches/ http://pier60fishing.com/2009/04/recent-catches/#comments Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:30:54 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=152 ]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2009/04/recent-catches/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2009/02/rough-weather-good-fishing/ http://pier60fishing.com/2009/02/rough-weather-good-fishing/#comments Fri, 06 Feb 2009 01:50:31 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/fishing/?p=97 The second half of January saw some good fishing on Pier 60. As long as the wind was not howling right before the arrival of the cold fronts, or during some of the torrential rains we had in the past week or so, fishermen were able to do well after sundown.
