The weather doesn't look like it will be fishable offshore this week. We'll let nature do it's thing and hopefully the Inshore boats will still be able to fish for a couple of more days.

Another day of wind and some minor flooding. Inshore boats Hook Up, Fingeance and Relentless headed out today. They had good catches of Bluefish and of course, Red Drum. They had both keeper size Drum and a few big ones, including a 48"er.

We're hoping tomorrow will be a better day and the big boats will be able to go offshore. It'll be a wait and see kind of morning.

Unfortunately, the wind just doesn't want to quit. It must be the reason the Wright brothers picked this area when they were looking for wind.
