The yacht lay alongside the pier at a sharp cant, its left side decks awash with water. |
It was a mixture between big motorboats, small sailing boats and on one pier eight water scooters were standing on a platform. |
Most are small, less than three or four feet, but occasionally a pier or jetty angler soaking a big bait hooks a fish with real shoulders. |
I had a very strong urge to bean her with a rock, because underneath the pier is littered with big ones, but I resisted. |
I used to stand on the pier just down there and I used to watch them go past, and it was like Thomas the tank engine. |
You don't get big fish without baitfish, and the latter are showing in better numbers recently beneath the rebuilt pier at San Luis Pass. |
