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!
