Fishing the surfhas been better the past couple of evenings with kingfish and spot being the main catches. Bruce Waver and gand did reall y well catching around 40 fish off the surf today. The anglers using smaller hooks( EC surfballs ) with bloodworms, Fishbites Bw and squid have been doign well.) Use cut bait for best results with shark, skates, and rays with wire leader. In the bay there are still plenty of little croakers around, anglers have been putting the snaller ones back and keeping the larger size croakers. In the inlet there have been a few kingfish being caught off the boat as well. Flounder are still also being caught in the deeper channel. Offshore today Capt. Glenn went on a funttip today and had a 50 pound bluefin tuna. Other were also catching dolphin(mahi-mahi) on the troll. We weighed in thr first citation wahoo of the year too. Its been really hot out there so make sure to take plenty of water and liquids out with you. Bugspray is also a must for this time of year. We have gotten in our new shipment of Guy Harvey shirts come by the shop and check them out with our custom logo on the sleeve. Thats the report for now. Tight Lines !
