Fishing Reports

Just a couple of big boats ventured out to the blue water this morning. They decked some Dolphin, a couple of Wahoo and some bottom fish like Triggerfish. Nearshore boats had some nice Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, some Albacore and King Mackerel. Inshore boats filled coolers with limits of Speckled Trout, Cobia and some pretty keeper-size Red Drum. They will be back at it again tomorrow.

Some of the big boats saw the sun rise over the blue water this morning and in spite of slightly windy conditions stuck it out to bring home the meat. They slung some nice Dolphin and Wahoo on the decks. Carolina Girl, Release and Sea Creature all released some billfish. Inshore boats were on to the Speckled Trout and some keeper-size Red Drum along with a few Bluefish.

The sun rose over the big boats tied to the docks this morning. The wind was a little too much for a day of happy fishing.

The big boats saw the sunrise on the blue water this morning as they were in pursuit. They had a good day with both bailer and gaffer Dolphin along with some pretty Wahoo. Inshore boats had their limits of Puppy Drum, Speckled Trout and a couple of Cobia. Tomorrow is looking like the wind will make an appearance so the big boats will lay low but the Inshore boats will be out looking for the Red Drum.

They were able to bring home some Dolphin in both bailer and gaffer sizes along with a couple of Blackfin Tuna. They also released some billfish.
