Rudee Inlet:
The Rudee Inlet Bite continues to be predominately Croaker being caught on life bloodworms or squid on a bottom rig. There are still some Flounder being caught, though most have been throw backs there are some nice keepers still in the mix of things. Popular baits for Flounder have been gulp on a light jig head or live minnows. There are a few Bluefish and Puppy Drum inside the inlet being caught on cut finger mullet. We have also had a few reports of some Spot starting to move in hitting on life bloodworms and squid, alongside the Croaker bite.
Inshore:
Today we had the WaveRunner and the Top Notch fish inshore trips this morning. They returned to the docks with some nice Spanish Mackerel, and the Top Notch also brought in a Cobia.
Offshore:
Today we had the Backlash, Rebel and Capt Cheryl all head out to the deep water bright and early this morning. The Capt Cheryl came back with a nice catch of Blueline Tilefish; two of which were citation size, and some Black Sea Bass. We are waiting on the arrival of the Backlash and Rebel. The Backlash returned to the docks with 2 White Marlin releases and 1 Blue Marlin! The Rebel returned with 2 White Marlin releases!
