It's been back to winter with a wet and windy week. One of our Inshore boats braved the wet to fish today and had a good day of Red Drum fishing. Of course, this is the kind of weather Red Drum like. Tightline got onto them and made for happy anglers.

Tomorrow doesn't look any better and Monday is a bit iffy also. So we'll see what the sun brings and hopefully, we'll get to see the sun.

Inshore Fleet made it out today a little bumpy. Despite the wind they were able to bring in some 

Red Drum.

The morning started out warm and fairly calm but when the wind switched and it got choppy fast. The Offshore boats still got onto the meat. Some of the boats came in early but not before they slung the meat on deck. Release and Sea Creature each released a Blue Marlin. They also had some gaffer Dolphin and a few Wahoo. Some of them had pretty bailer Dolphin, a couple of Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna and some Spanish Mackerel from calmer water. Because the wind was blowing, the Inshore boats had an excellent Red Drum day.
