Summerville Pier aka Hoth Ice Fields

[pvelyk]

With hearing a few launches opening up and a few poeple getting ready to brave the waters I decided to see if I could cast of the Summerville pier tonight.  Two things hit me as I crossed the Coast Guard house, the first being that there still was a lot of shore ice out there by the pier.  It went out at least 150 to 200 yards next to the pier.  Once I walked out to open water the second thing hit me and that is the water level is about five and a half feet or so lower than the lower section of pier.  I decided not to cast as the pier where the water started to open was still very icey and my net was not long enough to get to any fish I hooked.  The water clarity also was pretty poor, not brown but a very turbid green.  Here are some pictures.
