Fishing Reports

It was a choppy, windy day on the blue water. A few of the Offshore boats ventured out and were successful on catching Dolphin with both gaffers and bailers hitting the docks. They also had some Blackfin Tuna and a couple of Wahoo. The Inshore boats had big Bluefish and keeper Red Drum.

The wind has been consistent today and may pick up more tomorrow, so the boats may stay tied up.
