Fishing Reports

Due to weather, no boats fished Offshore today. It was overcast with periods of light rain. We certainly needed some rain and a day with cooler temps. Inshore boats fished briefly and found a scattered Red Drum bite.

Gusty winds kept most of the offshore fleet at the dock this morning. Several went and some returned early because of rough seas. Those that stayed got on a few Dolphin, along with some Wahoo and King Mackerel. One Blue Marlin was released. Inshore boats got on Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish this morning. This afternoon, they caught some nice Keeper Red Drum along with a few Speckled Trout. Get your fish on by calling 800-676-4949 to book a charter.

Another scorcher of a day! Spending the day on the water has its benefits on a day like today with a heat index well above 100 degrees. Anglers reported a beautiful day offshore. Fishing conditions were slower than usual with a few Dolphin caught. The Wahoo bite was fair. A few Blackfin Tuna helped to fill the fish box. Bottom fishing included Grouper and Tilefish. We had two near-shore boats head out this morning with the cooler temperatures. They reported good Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. Inshore boats got on Spanish and Blues today as well as a few Speckled Trout. They reported a good Shark bite. Our entire fleet is booked tomorrow, however, we do have a few openings this weekend. Don't miss out!
