A few of our big boats saw the sunrise on the fishing grounds this morning. They slung some pretty Dolphin on deck along with some Wahoo, plenty of Blackfin Tuna, and some Yellowfin Tuna. The inshore boats had a good day with Sheepshead.

Another gorgeous spring day in the books and all of the boats took advantage of it. The inshore boats had many happy anglers as another excellent Red Drum day unfolded. They also had a couple of citation-size Black Drum. There were several sore reeling arms. The big boats enjoyed a calm sea and slung several Blackfin Tuna over the gunnels along with some Yellowfin Tuna, a few Dolphin and some Wahoo and a few Triggerfish.
If you're going fishing, you might want to lift some weights to get your arms in shape for all of the action. Especially if you're going inshore.

Another day in the books and a beautiful day it has been. Our inshore boats have been wearing the arms off of anglers getting hooked up with Red Drum. Several citations were released again today. The big boats had a good day out in the blue water. They had a Sailfish, a White Marlin, some bailer Dolphin, some Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna along with some Wahoo and various bottom fish. They also had scattered large Barracuda. Tomorrow looks like another pretty day and a day without wind is a day to take advantage of. They will be out again and if you're on the island, stop by around 4 pm and watch the fish hit the dock. Come on into our marina store and check out our latest selection of t-shirts. We are getting in more new designs all the time.

It started out to be a chilly morning but by the time the fish hit the dock, it was under sunny warm skies. The big boats scrapped out a day of catching some Wahoo, bailer size Dolphin, some Yellowfin Tuna and some Blackfin Tuna. The inshore boats had another day of beating the Drum. Red Drum were plentiful again with some very large citations released. Tomorrow all will be back at it again. It looks like we might actually have some warm weather for more than a day.

It was a blustery spring day and I bet you can guess how the fishing was. Red Drum were practically jumping in the boat. They love windy days and we have had no shortage of wind around here. Because of the wind, the big boats stayed home. The next few days look like the wind may lay low and we may get some offshore action.
