It was not a day for the big boats today due to the SW wind. They stayed tied to the docks but the Inshore boats had an epic Red Drum day and some Sheepshead. They had both keepers and big ones. Red Drum are very active on windy days. They also make for some very tasty fish tacos. Sheepshead are good eating too.

Hopefully the wind will lay down tonight and everyone will be on the water tomorrow.

A SW wind started up this morning which made for choppy conditions so the big boats stayed home except for Release who fished the Marlin Club Tournament. Under very rough seas Release managed to release a White Marlin. The Inshore boats had some good fishing and Red Drum like the wind. They had good Drum bites and some pretty Speckled Trout.
