in and the water starts warming up.
When the water starts warming back up, they start coming back in.
The water at the jetties is warmer when the tide comes in, then gets cooler
when the tide goes back out. They don't care for the cooler water.
longcast foul hooked a small flounder in Turners last month on a pink corky...saw some taken from prien area too. I guess the little ones hang out in the cooler temps.
