Fishing Reports

Today was a blowout day for the big boats and a Red Drum day for the inshore boats. As the big boats stayed tied to the dock the inshore boats went in search of Red Drum and they found them along with a few Speckled Trout. Red Drum love to bite on windy days and our captains love to catch them. Today was an excellent Red Drum day.

The big boats left the dock this morning in a thunderstorm and by the time the fish hit the decks the sun came out. They had several catches of Dolphin with both bailers and gaffers and some catches of Wahoo and one boat caught a Yellowfin Tuna. Both Chaser and Carolina Girl released a Sailfish. Inshore boats had a specktacler day with Speckled Trout and some pretty keeper Red Drum.
