More like 12 feet :

I always think about the old pier too, and like was said above I remember standing and seeing fish busting bait and midday tarpon rolling 100-150 yards out and wishing they would come just a little bit closer. Now when I come down and rush to get out to the octi, I always think how I am walking past the water I used to wish I could fish!

Spent a lot days on the old pier wishing/hoping/praying my hardtail would be strong enough to swim out just far enough to get bit before someone else's line tangled him up and pulled me back in or I had to reel him back a little to let someone have room to fight their fish past me. Now I hustle past it to squeeze in at the rail on the end.

I guess if the grass is always greener on the other side then the water will always be "fishier" just beyond where you can get to!

And that's all I have to say about that.
Well said
