We had an excellent 6hr trip again this morning, with a great group we take every summer. Limited out on blue fish and had a Spanish mackerel in a half hr. Ran to the reef had throw back flounder. A ton of seabass and got our limit with some very nice size ones and managed two trigger fish. Afternoon we had a 4hr trip limited out again.

Great morning bottom fishing. Got our 6 man limit of seabass, 2 nice triggers and some throwback flounder. If youโ€™re interested in a bottom fishing trip the last day for seabass is August 31st. Flounder is open till September 25th. The triggers should hang around with this warm water.
