Inshore anglers caught limits of Puppy Drum this morning. Afternoon anglers went out and returned due to thunderstorms and some went back out and returned with Cobia, Speckled Trout, and Sea Mullet. Near shore trips returned with a good catch of Spanish Mackerel.

Most of our offshore fleet headed out this morning. Several returned to the dock early due to stormy, rough conditions. Overall, fishing was slow today. A few Dolphin were caught as well as a few Blackfin Tuna. Two Sailfish were released.

Inshore fishing was good this afternoon with a limit of Gray Trout and some Spot. Clamming was real good and the Sand Dollars were "chewing like mad dogs". Inshore trips run in the morning and again in the afternoon. It is a great way to spend family time together!

Offshore, meat fishing was slow today, with efforts being plagued by thunderstorms and rain squalls. A few Dolphin and Blackfin Tuna were caught. Two White Marlin and four Sailfish were released.
