20th

**UPDATE**
We just had word of a private boat that will be in around 5PM with A TON of TUNA!! This is GREAT news considering we've been waiting so patiently for the Tuna to show up nice and strong. We heard the boat was fishing at the 850-line down to the 700-line when he sat right on top of a school of fish. He was able to bring back a total of 20 Tuna that included Yellowfin, Blackfin, and a couple Bluefin, however we were not able to get any pictures. We'll try to get more information from captains as we get it!

Well we have still not been able to get out much since the Nor-Easter.  Most of the fishing recently has been taking place in the inlet.  The storm has stirred up some nice speckled trout in Rudee Inlet.  We have seen many people bring back coolers full of 4-6lb fish.  Several locals have weighed them in but did not want the citation.  We have had several fish over 5 lbs and even a few over 6!  Artificial bait still seems to be the favorite method, grubs and jigs are the most popular but many people have started to use the gulp as well. 

We do have some good charter reports from other local fishermen and friends. 

Inshore reports of 40"+ stripers being caught off of Solomon's Island have people speculating the best Striped Bass season that we have ever had.  The captains up there are saying that they are already catching a ton of fish and many of them are over 40" already.  They are jealous that the fish are moving here for the winter because they know that they will be even bigger when they get here!

Offshore we've had reports of Blue Fin Tuna being spotted at some of the offshore towers!  Hopefully someone will be able to bring some back to the docks soon! 

The deep dropping should also be wonderful right now.  We have head boats heading out tomorrow to try their luck offshore! 

Check back in later this weekend for an update, and remember if the boats get back late on Saturday, that we may not be able to get a report out until Sunday!
