Florida Squid Fishing

[Old Salt]

[quote name='Old Salt' post='7102' date='Jul 19 2006, 01:05 AM']The Fort Walton Beach fishing pier is called the Okaloosa Island Pier.Here is a [url="http://okaloosaislandpier.com/"]weblink[/url]Same variety of fishing game and for the non-fishing members of your group a boardwalk(restaurants & shops) and aquarium within shortwalking distance(at the pier entrance).The Beach has the cleanest whitest sand(almost a powder and like snow) I have ever seen in the USA.The water is so clear that when sunlight plays off( reflects) the shallows it has emerald green color hence the name "The Emerald Coast". Because of water clarity(in flyfishing jargon "Gin clear") "hot pink" is excellent in the daytime,but the Squid are very shy-better after dark with "Glow Baits".Green color works best after dark for me.Here is some pics











The photos don't do the sand justice-the color is a honest virgin snow white! The Building at the start of the pier is the Tackle shop at the end is the bathrooms with soda machine. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />[/quote]
