LONG POINT 4/11-4/12/08 *Camp sites are going fast

[JohnB]

When we have done get togethers at Longpoint, we usually don't reserve the pavillions. If it isn't reserved by now, it probably will be open, and then you don't have to pay for it. You just might want to send a couple people over with some "stuff" earlier in the day to set up.

I hope to contribute many pounds of Mahi. Are there any tricks to get out the inlet?

If I may add a few points of local knowledge. Favor the north side of the inlet, especially at low tide (BTW, the tide change at the inlet is 2 1/2 hours after what the tide tables say for Sebastian), I have seen outboard boats hit bottom near the end of the south jetty. Stay just outside of casting range of the fisherman on the north jetty and you will have plenty of water.

Also, be aware of "Monster Hole", which is a few hundred yards out, on the south side of the inlet. Monster Hole breaks if there is any swell. It is best to cut north once you clear the north jetty as you head out of the inlet.

Let hope for calm weather, and the inlet will be tame. But if there is any kind of seas out of the east, please use caution, especially on the out going tide.

And don't forget, we can always play in the Indian River

We are looking forward to a great time!

Enough with all the navagation crap were's the BAIT

Would love to find those monster Jacks when we're there, not much more fun than Jacks and topwaters

I used to fish the pier in `79-81. Just watch the rats and they`ll show you where the bait is. My brother, various friends and I used to jump off the bridge going over the inlet on the outgoing tide. About 68 ft. or so. We talked 2 cute girls into jumping and one leaned forward a little on entry. My brother and I jumped in after her and got her to the ladder. Knocked the wind out of her and probably cracked a rib or two. I was up in Beantown in Oct and we thanked our lucky stars AGAIN. We were very lucky and no we didn`t get lucky.

Are there pinfish around over there? and does the bait respond to chum or do you just sabiki it?

[gofastsandman]

Pinners yes chum yes cast net yes sabikis yes. Surfers already know it`s the best break on the east coast.

Pinners yes, chum yes, cast net yes, sabikis yes. Surfers already know it`s the best break on the east coast. Especially the monster hole after storms.
