Trask Cunningham caught an 80 plus this week , there were several other boats that were productive offshore with 50’s boated. Weather has allowed a day here and there for offshore trips . Meanwhile inshore the trout and drum bite continues. Also a report of an 18 in flounder caught off a locals dock.

Trout and redfish were caught at all the normal sports by area fishermen. Meanwhile the offshore bite was hot for some and slow for others, several 80 lb wahoos were gaffed. Devils hole , Steeples and down south were some of the bite areas.

The weather looks great for the weekend. Flat seas on Sunday , with sunshine, what more could you ask for. Kings in 90 ft, seabass and other bottom dwellers in the same depth. Slide on out and try the stream/ break for a hoo or blackfin. Meanwhile the trout and blue bite is on in the backwaters.

Come down and check out the action.
