I shoulda listened to my initial gut instinct and waited to go until tomorrow. Oh well. Had fun anyways. Caught 9 yellows, only 1 big enough to keep. 2 Silver bass, and 4 sheephead. Nobody else was doing any better on perch off the pier or the beach. 1 BIG catfish caught by the guy sitting beside me, even the sheephead weren't playing nice. Then this happened around 12:30 and 3:30 respectively (see pictures)
The first one being held by the lady was caught off the sw corner with a worm. The second was caught on the east side across from the buoy on a minnow. He didn't even know he'd had a hit until his line was super slack, so he reeled it up, then realized there was something there, so he set the hook. I'm on the beach side minding my own business when all of a sudden he's yelling at me to get my net.
So it wasn't a total bust today, but the perch didn't feel like cooperating today. ( I kinda thought after the weather Thurs-Sun, that they probably went deep again and it might be tough going today. Next time I listen to my gut and wait that extra day.) Might go again later in the week.
