The big boats watched the sunrise over the fishing grounds during the start of a beautiful day. Blackfin Tuna were slung over the gunnels along with a good amount of Dolphin and some Wahoo and a few King Mackerel. It was a pretty enough day that the Inshore boats were able to make a good day of catching Spanish Mackerel and King Mackerel on the ocean side. They also had Sheepshead and released some Red Drum and had limits of Sea Bass. They had some keeper Drum too.

Tomorrow looks like another beauty with a SW wind taking over by tomorrow evening. We'll see if it happens but one thing is fairly certain, the sun will come up again tomorrow.

The big boats stayed tied up today but our Inshore boat had an epic day. Black Pearl had an insane Red Drum bite. Many Drum were released.

It was another gorgeous day and by the looks of the weather report, it will be the last pretty day for a few days. One boat hit the blue water again today and loaded up with Blackfin Tuna and Dolphin. The Inshore boats had another busy day of beating the drum. That's citation-size Red Drum. They released plenty.

It looks like we may be having a nor'easter for the next few days so the big boats will be staying home.

We'd like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday. Happy Easter!
