Fun on a windy day!
Basic package Half day (AM) on August 8, 2026 • 2 adults

My son and I had a great day! It was a windy day making fishing difficult but Captain Stewart worked hard getting us over fish. We tried fishing a ship wreck, reefs, and trolling. It was a lot of fun catching one Tautog, one Blowfish (caught by capt), and several Oyster Toad fish.
