Fishing Reports

One Inshore boat went fishing this morning. Fingeance was able to get on some nice Bluefish and some Red Drum.

This week looks sketchy for the weather. We have a system hanging out just off of our coast, threatening to form into something a little windier. Rain and wind look to be the forecast for the week. Maybe it'll stir the fish up and fall fishing will be phenomenal on the other side. We'll have to keep an eye on it and see what develops.

The morning started out cloudy but dry. By mid-day it was a gully washer. Thunderstorms and downpours were the order of the day. All of the big boats stayed home. The Inshore boats were able to get out this morning, this afternoon not so much. They did have good fishing when they were out. They had both Speckled and Gray Trout along with a Cobia, Sea Bass, and Bluefish. One or Two Flounder were released.

Congratulations to Ali McMinn on her best catch.

We wil never forget today! 

A few of the offshore boats made it out this morning, they returned with a little bit of everything; Dolphin, Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna were hitting the dock this afternoon.

Inshore boats had catches of BlG Bluefish, a great fight on lite tackle. Some near shore fishing produced catches of King Mackerel and Amberjack.

A pretty morning turned into a pretty afternoon as the boats returned to the dock. They had some Dolphin and a few Wahoo along with a couple of Yellowfin Tuna and a few Blackfin Tuna. The Inshore boats had good catches of Gray and Speckled Trout, Bluefish, Sheepshead and Pompano.
