Yesterday I float tubed the same general area for about an hour and a half. Got one nice hit in very shallow water. I was in about 7 ft. but casted to shore and almost hit the sand. The fish hit not too long into the retrieve. Didn't get him but my Hammer was chewed pretty good. As soon as it let go a decent school of bait boiled on the surface. Got a 21 incher in about 7 ft. I was fishing right in front of the driftwood fort thing. I was using the Olive 5" Hammer with the red stripe belly.<P>Okay the reason I posted this - Mike you're right about the water it was 63 degrees - which is 3 degrees warmer than over by the stairs.<P>I tried fishing from the surf after I got out but it didn't work out as well for me as it did for Mike.
