Last weekend my wife and I took advantage of great Pensacola fall weather by getting our surf fishing on. I thought I would share our experience in a photo blog. Are those called plogs?
Our fishing location, letter H at Johnson’s Beach.

A sea turtle who has a taste for bait shrimp waving to you! We promptly put him back in the water after this picture.

We were treated to one of the Lord’s spectacular sunsets
Sunday, July 15th Fishing Trip begins at the Letter J Walkover at Johnson’s Beach (I choose letter J because it’s the last walkover and the closest one to the Pensacola Pass at the end of the beach – which is miles down but the closer I can get to it the better fishing in my mind)
I get my fish pole baited up with shrimp and in the water. I move on to setting up my second pole and before I can finish my fishing pole is dancing with one of these Ladyfish/Skip Jack hooked. I can’t keep my poles in the water and end up with these three fish quickly.
I also catch this lil’ ground mullet, aka southern kingfish.
And then the seaweed picks up 😦
My final catch, a Seaweed Shark. It is just too much seaweed to continue fishing. So . . .
I resort to some body surfing, aka body boarding! 🙂
