Spanish are in

[Blue_Runner]

Just think, we usually b!tch and gripe over illegal immigrants be all of a sudden we are happy to see the spanish show up.



How far north do they go? A google search yielded some results for migration patterns on the east coast and said as far north as cape cod. I never hear any of the yanks on here talking about Spanish....its nornally us southern folk from NC on down to FL.

P.S. They'll be here by the 3rd week of April. About 1 - 2 weeks after I visit

Spare, I can confirm those reports. We went down Friday night for a short weekend to fish out of Murrell's inlet sc. It was RUFF but we fished until 1 pm on Saturday catching about 7 or 8 spanish and 5 blues. Sunday it was RUFFER so we hit the surfside pier while the girls hit the beach next to the pier. No spanish were being caught off the pier but it was only because no one was trying for them. I sent out a gold hook rig and caught several blues before finally catching a small spanish @12.5 inches. It was slow so I gave up the jigging and opted for fresh shrimp on the bottom and caught a couple whiting. My buddy Chad had a nice hit on his shrimp which turned out to be a 2.5 lb weakie which was the talk of the pier. It was nice to be on "solid ground" during a blow and still get to fish. I cut my saltwater teeth on the planks and this was the first time in quite a while fishing from the pier. Fried about 20 fish last night consisting of bluefish, spanish, whiting and the summer trout not too bad for SNOTTY weather fishing! I've done worse!
