Fishing Reports

The strong south/west winds kept the offshore fleet tied to the dock today, however the inshore fleet made a day of it catching limits of Red Drum, Speckled Trout and Bluefish.

It was another hot one today but the wind added to the heat. A SW wind kept a lot of the big boats tied to the docks. One boat did make the trek out to the blue water which paid off for them. Bite Me released a Blue Marlin and a Sailfish. They also had a few Blackfin Tuna and Wahoo. The Inshore boats had good catches of Bluefish and Speckled Trout along with some Red Drum. Drum like to bite on breezy days and they make really yummy fish tacos.
