Another hot day, although showers cooled things off for anglers somewhat. Inshore charters had a great time catching Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish, whether they fished this morning or this afternoon. One charter fished near-shore and returned with a good catch of Spanish Mackerel - just look at the smiles on the boys' faces! They enjoyed their fishing adventure. Offshore charters returned with fair to good catches of Dolphin, a fair catch of Wahoo, scattered Blackfin Tuna, and scattered King Mackerel. Some bottom fished for Tilefish and Grouper. Sounds like quite a smorgasbord! One Sailfish was released. There are still some open boats in July - don't miss out on all the fun.

Another scorcher of a day! Spending the day on the water has its benefits on a day like today with a heat index well above 100 degrees. Anglers reported a beautiful day offshore. Fishing conditions were slower than usual with a few Dolphin caught. The Wahoo bite was fair. A few Blackfin Tuna helped to fill the fish box. Bottom fishing included Grouper and Tilefish. We had two near-shore boats head out this morning with the cooler temperatures. They reported good Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. Inshore boats got on Spanish and Blues today as well as a few Speckled Trout. They reported a good Shark bite. Our entire fleet is booked tomorrow, however, we do have a few openings this weekend. Don't miss out!
