The big boats were able to untie from the dock this morning and head out to the blue water. They got a full day in and slung a lot of fish over the gunnels. It was a little rough but worth the effort. They slung some Blackfin Tuna and a few Dolphin. They also slung a few Wahoo and a couple of King Mackerel. Sea Creature released a Sailfish. The Inshore boats did a lot of reeling today. They reeled in some nice Red Drum in both slot size and citations. Drum makes some seriously good fish tacos. They also caught Speckled Trout, Bluefish and some pretty Ribbonfish.
