    My first time fishing was out there, 8 years old(35 years old). I caught 8 fish from the sand right there in that spot. Nothing that big, tho I did hook something that was too strong for me too reel in and it popped my line. My home town here. Edited....that 3rd one is about what I caught all those years ago
