Bad day fishing yesterday, though it was a beautiful day. Tried everything (Pin Fish, Shrimp, Greenbacks, TF Herring, etc) but nothing was biting for me except four 3-4" grunts 
We saw one guy pull up two 30"+ Grouper so we know they were around, just not for us.
On a more interesting note, I did manage to catch a seagull who flew from under the bridge into my line just as I cast off. She hit the water and I reeled her up to the bridge. Took about 3-4 minutes of careful cutting of the line that had wrapped around her wing, luckily she was fine though. More interested in the pinfish that was dangling 2" in front of her face than the work we were doing to get the line off. Held her up and she flew away just fine. Whew.

We did much better this Sunday out on my friends boat, ended up with about 8 Black Sea Bass keepers. Ran out of room in the cooler
