Two Rocks pretty much the same
I spent a few hours on the leeward side of the Two Rocks marina today. More of a de-stress session than anything else I guess. Not a lot happening but the birds were having a ball. There must have been plenty of small stuff around.
No pinkies up there today. Plenty of small stuff on the bottom. Nothing on the top despite a bucket load of burley.

Good onya Kempy
I was going to head down there myself but the forecast was that it was blowing 60 knotts. Seems from your report that it may not have been anywhere near that.
It is just a matter of time before someone cracks a big snapper down that way with all those little pinkies around.
How big were the skippys? We have been getting onto a few quite deecent sized ones down there lately.

Nice I have heard that a big pinky was caught where you
were fishing about a month ago. Haven't confirmed that, but it is likely as I have never seen so many pinkies down there.

Was in that exact same spot
Was in that exact same spot myself -Saturday- morning from 6am until around 10am.
No luck with skippy which I was hoping for, was plagued by small pinkies !!!, the half dozen hooked, all gently released back into the water, where they bolted off strongly.
All that I know...Is that my gut says.....Maybe...

The crabs can be a pain there kempy
You can try attaching a wine bottle cork on the line above your hook and that can help keep your bait out of reach of the crabs.
