The offshore boats departed at first light with calm seas and returned to the dock with slightly rising temperatures. They had a good day with several Wahoo caught along with some pretty Dolphin, some Blackfin Tuna, Triggerfish and a Sailfish release. The inshore boats had a Red Drum frenzy with several citation-size released and some pretty Sheepshead also in citation-size.

The offshore boats saw the sunrise with a chill to the air this morning. When they returned to the dock it wasn't much warmer. They did scrap out a good day with a few Dolphin hitting the deck along with some Wahoo, some Yellowfin Tuna and a few Blackfin Tuna. The inshore boats had a good day with Red Drum and some more citation-size Sheepshead. Tomorrow sounds like it will be warmer with a light SE breeze. The fleet will be ready to turn around and do it again.

It was a little choppy offshore today and one big boat ventured out. Release didn't disappoint with a few bailer-size Dolphin and a lot of Blackfin Tuna. If it's a windy day, then that means good fishing for the inshore boats. It was excellent Red Drum fishing for them along with some Sheepshead. Tomorrow is looking like all of the boats will be cutting loose from the dock and heading out.

Another gorgeous spring day in the books and all of the boats took advantage of it. The inshore boats had many happy anglers as another excellent Red Drum day unfolded. They also had a couple of citation-size Black Drum. There were several sore reeling arms. The big boats enjoyed a calm sea and slung several Blackfin Tuna over the gunnels along with some Yellowfin Tuna, a few Dolphin and some Wahoo and a few Triggerfish.
If you're going fishing, you might want to lift some weights to get your arms in shape for all of the action. Especially if you're going inshore.
