They hooked up with some King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel. When they got on the inside they had good catches of Red Drum, Sheepshead, Gray Trout, Bluefish and False Albacore.

The fishing is heating up and the days are beautiful. Book a trip out to the Gulf Stream or a half-day in the Sound. Come on in and sign up for a make-up trip out to the blue water for a fraction of the cost. You'll make new friends while you fill your freezer with some incredible fresh fish.

The big boats were able to untie from the dock this morning and head out to the blue water. They got a full day in and slung a lot of fish over the gunnels.
