Fourth time in the last 12 days for hitting the mangroves in St. Augustine Inlet and among the other species caught this is the third little one of this size. Near on 50 years ago when we'd catch them they were what we consumed first........
And yes......limits of mangroves in not a whole lot of time. Enough of them there to where even dead shrimp will do the trick.
And here is a odd thing. While there are still plenty of pinfish around, it seems that maybe, just maybe, the mangroves are having a effect on their numbers ( Eating them! ) as the raging hordes of little ones seem to be reduced. Not that we don't still get annoyed by them or that using minnows isn't still a good strategy to employ so as to avoid them but rather that they are not absolutely impossible to deal with.
