You might want to plan where you go based on wind forecasts. Particularly this time of year. You don't want to paddle against the wind coming back. So, fishing south might be a better option if the South wind is going to blow all day. Lots of reef to fish down there. They start at about where the state park ends and continue south off and on to the pier. Do a search for "barber pole" and there is a post where I give directions to the pipe. It fishes best with a light offshore. That way you drift along the Pipe instead of across it.

Wind has been nasty out there last couple of days... of course a bit calmer near shore.

Good luck this weekend.

Please take everyone's advice on wind seriously. I got stuck in it cause I didnt pay attention to wind and took me over 2 hours paddling back. Have not been back since LMAO. But launch from boat ramp makes life easier.
