Happy Labor Day to everyone who deserve a Monday off after working hard to help keep our country going. The Offshore fleet took today off too, due to rough conditions. The Inshore boats had an awesome Red Drum day. One good thing about windy weather is the Red Drum love to bite. Tomorrow looks like it might be rough too but Wednesday is looking good.
