Stormy weather today with overcast skies all day. Boats stayed safely at the docks today. Weather should be rapidly improving over the next few days so we hope to have boats out soon!

Despite strong heavy rain squalls this morning, several offshore charters decided to make a go for it. For the most part, fishing conditions were slow. They got on a scattered Wahoo bite along with a few Blackfin Tuna. Bottom fishing was good with Tilefish helping to fill the fish box! One Spearfish was released. Inshore anglers had a great day catching and releasing Red Drum. A few Speckled Trout were caught as well. What a great way to spend a rainy day at the beach - spending time with family and friends on the water!
