The pogy boats were not always in Mississippi, I believe they came into Moss Point in the 60s. Before that I know people that would catch cobia, kings, tarpon etc right off the piers and beaches. If you doubt me any of you that go to any popular seafood restaurants can look on the walls of most of them and see the black and white pictures fish pics proving this
It was the beach creation that changed the near shore gulf coast fisheries more than any other single thing, there is not a single sandy shoreline in any of those old pics.

I'm back in La now ,but I was in the Florida panhandle for 7 years, and they still catch cobia, kings and tarpon from the beach and piers. A few years back a dude caught a slob of a mahi between the two sandbars off the beach

The Gulf of Mexico is nothing like it was even in my lifetime, it is significantly worse. I remember catching coolers of specks one after the other on certain tides every time, and seeing and catching tarpon, kings and Spanish right off the beaches. Before massive habitat destruction, the COE dredging with no rhyme or reason, decades of pollution and sewage , heavy commercial fishing with gill nets
This is happening all over the world. The Mediterranean is getting fished dry, as well as the South China Sea, and gill nets are still being used in Gulf of California, killing everything.

Yea I've heard of those also. The other three are daily while they are around they eventually migrate out and make another brief appearance in the fall on their way back south. Word on the street was back in the day local restaurants would buy cobia. People would quit their jobs and just fish while they were around. Decent 40-50# cobia would fetch a couple hundred easy. I never fished piers, couldn't deal with the "rules"
