The morning started out with wind and rain. The rain turned to sunshine and the wind stuck around keeping the Offshore boats tied to the docks. The Inshore boats were able to go fishing and they had a good day. They had Bluefish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead and Spanish Mackerel. Mostly because of the wind, they also had Red Drum. The Drum like to bite on windy days and they also make delicious fish tacos.
