Fishing Reports

The entire fleet headed to the fishing grounds this morning in hopes of showing their parties a good time. They returned with some good catches of gaffer Dolphin, Wahoo, and some bottom fish; Tilefish, Snowy Grouper, and Rose Fish. It all sounds like some good eating to me.

Inshore boats showed their parties a good time today. They had excellent catches of Red Drum and Speckled Trout. One boat had a clamming trip and they also did well.
