Good action in the back and on the reefs

Had a great morning out on the beach despite the threatening weather. Decent action with kingfish and the bullnosed rays and butterfly rays provided drag burning excitement. Storms stayed away until we were wrapping it up for the day. So we lucked out all around.

Andy and I ran out on calm seas in search of flounder and triggerfish. We hit the reef around 8:40am, which apparently was a tad too late. The flounder bite was earlier from reports from friends. We picked at a bunch of shorts, and I was able to land one keeper at least. Loads of little sea bass to haul up too. A few skates and dog sharks in the mix. The water has been clear and blue, which is a great sign of things to co.e as the water warms. Later in the day we fmtried our luck over so.e wrecks, a shift from covering the rubble for flounder. We marked a cloud of fish hovering over the wreck. Turned out to be a lot of hungry triggers! We had a blast catching and releasing them, keeping some for the table. They are really tasty! Andy even got a porgy while dropping down to the wreck. We had action all day, and landed well over 75 fish between us. And we had some tasty fish fillets for a few meals to boot. Don't miss out!

The flounder bite continues to be good. The back bays are a little spotty with a hour to two hour bite window lately. But out front (in the ocean) on the reefs, has been getting better and better. As the waters warm the fishing and species available will improve. Surf fishing has been fun! Lots of sharks and big rays right in the breakers. Kingfish, weakfish, spot, sand perch, and more have all moved in. Boat and surf trips offer something for everyone. Call to get in on the action!
