Fishing Reports

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 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. 

Happy Easter. The Fishing Bunny Brought an Epic Drum Bite to the boats that made it out today.

It was Katie-bar-the-door for Red Drum fishing today. They were so thick that anglers got tired of reeling. There were some awesome citations released and some nice keepers thrown in coolers. The big boats had a good day as well. They slung some bailer Dolphins over the gunnels along with a few Yellowfin Tuna, some Blackfin Tuna, and a couple of Wahoo.

It was a windy morning this morning so the big boats stayed tied up. The inshore boats were able to have another day of Red Drum. More keepers than citations today. Tomorrow the big boats get cut loose. We'll see what the sun brings.

A little windy offshore today so the big boats stay at the dock, it didn't stop the inshore boats from heading out. They fished around the inlet and back in the sound and had catches of Red Drum, Ribbonfish and a citation-sized Speckled Trout.

Today was a bit of a windy day so the big boats stayed tied to the dock. The inshore boats had another Red Drum extravaganza day. Plenty of Red Drum and some nice Sheepshead were hooked.

Tomorrow looks like it will be fishable for the offshore boats. We'll see what the rising sun brings.

Today was another day closer to summer and it felt like it for a change. The sun and the temperatures rose through the day. The offshore boats had a good day of fishing and the inshore boats did too. Offshore they had a good showing of King Mackerel with some bailer Dolphin along with some Yellowfin Tuna and a scattered Blackfin Tuna. Some Bluefin Tuna were seen. The inshore boats had another day of excellent Red Drum fishing and some Ribbonfish.

It was a cold and windy start this morning.  This afternoon was a little better letting a couple of inshore boats out to catch the Red Drum. 

Monday is going to be a great day of fishing inshore and offshore. Come down to the Marina and see the fish the boats bring in.

It was a blustery spring day today and the inshore boats had another Red Drum party. It was an excellent day for Drumming. Some Sheepshead made a few appearances also. Tomorrow doesn't look fishable for offshore but Monday will more than likely be game on.

One boat parted the waters on a cool, calm morning and had a great day offshore. They returned to the dock under a warm sunny sky. They slung some Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna on the deck and released a Barracuda. Our inshore boats had another spectacular day today. They had some pretty Red Drum and some pretty Sheepshead.

The wind is going to make a return this weekend but that doesn't stop the inshore fleet. Red Drum likes to bite on windy days and our captains love to take anglers out to catch them. Don't wait to book a half-day inshore trip. Book a trip for tomorrow, it's not too late and we have boats that are available to go.

And Tomorrow will be even better.

Another great day of fishing. Drum biting every time the bait hit the water. No shortage of Red Drum here. Call us to get in on the action. 1-800-676-4939

Today started out cool with some rain. Our inshore boats were back at it hooking up the Red Drum. There were some keeper Drum and a citation size. 

The dredge is at the inlet and if things go well, the offshore boats will be headed out soon. This week is looking windy. We'll see what the weekend brings.

Mike Hess of New London, OH caught a 12lb. 8oz. Sheepshead on Hook Up

Our inshore boats had another great day of Red Drum fishing in the sound and inlet. Today was big Drum day. There were several citations earned along with some keepers. It looks like we are in a gale watch right now for this week. The Drum really likes windy days and so do our captains.
