Summary:  From awesome to rutroh to awesome to rutroh again from sunshine to gale force winds to dancing tornadic waterspouts then back to sunshine again this past week.  Rough weather and strong storms dominated the bite. But as of pm Sunday winds were light and northerly with clearing surf.  Hopefully, the fishing excitement we normally see at the pass will return.  Sunday afternoon was enjoyed watching a pod of porpoise playing and surfing the waves out front in the Gulf- WOW!! Is all I can say about those intelligent critters- AWESOME!!
