Great day. A little foggy early but the fish were chewing! Ran the beach and picked up some nice Spanish mackerel. Then headed a little further out and the crew hooked a nice 4.6lb Spanish and a 4.2lb Spanish! Also a bonus 28โ€ King mackerel was brought over the rail. Great day with a great group from PA!! Thanks for fishing with me!
