Put it this way I run the islands almost every weekend and the only time I've not gotten in to pib was when all the docks were closed except b. Be patient and someone will pull ya in. Fill the boat with girls and they'll kick someone out to get ya in lol

Same here, and although I've been slow this year, I've spent almost every other weekend up there in years past, and NEVER not found a spot. Worst case is we got a mooring ball one time, but I actually enjoyed that. Just be patient and toss the hook for a bit if you have to until something opens up.

so you can anchor out and wait? or do you have to use a mooring ball? This is my second time there and the first time was a few years ago and we have a slip paid for weeks ahead of time. This is last min since our house that we where going to rent got trashed last weekend and unable to rent this weekend for my bash party

All Docks were open when I was there Tuesday. A-Dock looks really nice. Bummer is I blew a lower coming back. Had 6 people on board and lots of gas, which really wouldn't let the other motor do the job it needed to. Called Boat Tow, they grabbed us towed us back (about 4.5hrs) with numerous stops because the tow boat kept sucking up seaweed, then the tow boat was running low on fuel so we went from a cool 9MPH to less than 5 MPH... Then got stuck in a crazy thunderstorm... Had a great day at the island, had a terrible ride home.

My gf wants to stay on PIB. If you can for sure get there by Friday I would be willing to go over and hold a spot for you but I don't want to get rafter in we are staying with a bunch of people at MB and want to stay there the rest of the weekend.
For what it's worth the only time I couldn't get a spot was when there was a sailboat regatta in taking up a whole dock.
