Trip Summary

The early morning action has been outstanding every day! The mackerel have moved back inside making it easier to fill the live well and get in on the action. Huge pods of peanut bunker have made their way out of the estuaries into the bay causing wild surface feeds! This week should include fireworks on the water and in the sky. Happy 250th America!

With the high winds we grabbed a mooring and landed a few slobs while having to fend off the seagulls. Sunday 6/21 was the complete opposite of the previous two days. We had to go east of Saturday Night ledge to find bait and work the islands to find bass. All in all a great weekend with beautiful weather all three days.

The key to success is be there early because the fish move on to deeper water as the sun rises higher in the sky. Book now!
