After a couple slowwwww inshore days (but killer spanish casting) we finally found some reds - derrek and alex with a couple low-slot fish!

This is Daly, or as I call him - Mr. Nat Geo. He knows more about sharks than anyone I have ever met, and I wish more people shared his enthusiasm for all aspects of the natural world. We started off catching all the spanish you could want - casting lures to busting fish. From [...]

More wind today - only 10-15 but the ocean is still rough as snot. Started off sight-casting to bonnetheads (no dice) and move over to sheepshead where we had tons of bites...just not much to show for it. Ended up boxing a few flounder and getting into some bonnetheads with jacob landing this 12lb'r on [...]

Had a great time with John and Michael today - not the best day but we had good bites and caught some good fish. The sheepshead bite was poor but we got into some flounder and John stole the show landing 2 world-class 20lb+ bonnetheads. Some of the biggest iwe've landed, ever. Good job and [...]

The last two or three years have given us very calm July 4th weeks, and I've been able to get out and get offshore and spend the day generally avoiding other humans. Several years of that made me forget why I swore to not work on July 4th weekend - until this year I had [...]

John Jr with the first red of the morning!

Had a good spanish bite this morning - eating small stuff but we put a good number in the boat. We opted to skip reds and hit the incoming for some sheepies - Phil got the first good one at 6lbs. Hoping to get a pic of Bill shortly too.

It started out pretty but ended up pretty bumpy - we did fine, even if it was our plan B! Jason and Linda had several 5lb spanish and 2 limits of flounder. We just waxed the flatties.

What started out as 10-15 became a solid 25...thanks weather jerks. We got lucky and still found a few.

Took longer than I wanted, but we finally got Craig his red.
