Actually my back started to spasm and quit. Back and legs braced against the corner of the pier were the sorest. Each big fish that came over the deck was shooting milt. They were going a little crazy because it was like a 20 year tide. The whole of Treasure Island was submerged. But they were gentle swells. Little wind. Absolutely the perfect confluence of weather conditions for an epic bull red run in the pass. Have yet to see it replicated. the reason they were there in force is the flooding of the salt marsh. The eggs attached to freshly submerged salt grass. If we get a big hurricane south of us, it could happen again. Unfortunately the pass pier is down right now. A storm last year put it under. It survived a lot before that happened. Guess it was a weird storm coming in at a bad angle. Hell I was on the pier during Chantal and Jerry and on one of those I had to tell the pier guy to shut it down. 2 by 6's were bouncing up and down like typewriter keys in the middle of the pier. Not safe. I used to always make it a point ot be at the beach when the easier storms came ashore. Something about that weather that makes you feel "alive". Or maybe it was the Budweiser. Not sure.
Most of all I hope it doesnt hit the US.
