A few boats out fishing today in fairly windy conditions. They found some fish to make it worth their while. Good Dolphin fishing with some Blackfin Tuna and a few Wahoo.

Wind and seas bumped up today and none of our Offshore boats fished. Inshore boats were finding good Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel.

The wind fell out during the night and left us with a great day for everyone to be out and about on the water! Inshore anglers experienced a good Spanish Mackerel bite this morning and chased after Cobia all afternoon. Most of our offshore fleet went out to the Gulf Stream to get on the Dolphin (mostly gaffers and a few bailers). Some anglers got on a real good Wahoo bite. There was a scattered Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna bite. One White Marlin was released. May is here and the Billfish bite will only get better! Don't miss out - call us at 800-676-4939 and book the trip of your choice whether inshore, near shore, or offshore.
