Decides to hit some lights last night around 11. Pretty good crowd at the pier when I got there and no fish other than a few white trout were caught. About 1 the last person left and I was there by myself. With all the stomping and cast net throwing going away the trout started to come out slowly. Caught several keepers on live finger mullet and the rest on shrimp creole matrix fish at about the speed of light. Caught my 15 limit and stayed for a little while longer and threw several back. Got back to the house at 4 this morning. Funny how gun shy these fish get and turn it on as soon as everything calms down.

Yeah i've noticed this at the diberville marina pier...you can catch a flounder or two here but it has to be quiet for an hour so before they will even think about biting...no boat launching no cast nets and such....
Way to get it done...it seems like they reset pretty quickly
Wonder just how many limits are caught with perseverance? Nice job.

My thoughts exactly! [thumbup]
You may have done exactly this, but live finger mullet free lined under the lights are deadly. The 2-3 inch mullet are perfect with a small size 1 owner hook. I did this for a couple months when I first got to Biloxi before I figured out how to catch them on lures.
Mullet

That's how I was fishing them. Small hook right behind the doo doo outlet. I did have a swivel to connect a8 lb fluorocarbon leader to my braid.
