Offshore:
We had two boats that were out fishing on over night trips. The Git-R-Done left this morning for his overnight shift and the Rebel will be returning this evening from staying overnight last night. We hope he has a nice haul of fish to bring back to the docks this evening as well as some flags flying for billfish release. The Backlash, Instigator, and WaveRunner also went fishing offshore today and will be returning to the docks this evening around 5 to 6PM. The Instigator just got back to the docks with some Mahi and False Albacore. The Rebel is pulling in now from being out overnight with some flags flying for four White Marlin and two Blue Marlin releases, some Mahi, as well as some Big Eye Tuna weighing 201lbs., 230 lbs., and 246lbs. The Backlash caught three White Marlin releases today. The WaveRunner just pulled into the dock with a nice catch of Mahi, Black Bellied Rosefish, and a few Black Seasbass.

Inshore:
The Capt. Cheryl went out on a half day inshore fishing trip this morning and caught some small inshore shark. The Top Notch is out on a half day nearshore trip and will be returning around 5PM. A private boat pulled up to our dock earlier with a bunch of Spadefish they had caught. There was also a Cobia that was caught on one of the head boats this morning. Check back later to see how the Top Notch did.

Rudee Inlet:
The Croaker and Spot bite has really been picking up. They have been biting on squid and live bloodworms. There are also some nice keeper Flounder being caught in the inlet and they have been catching them on live minnows.
