Fishing remains hot and the marine weather has been pretty good overall this year! I hope you have had plenty of opportunities to wet a line!

Inshore and offshore fishing has been hot lately. Drum, trout, flounder and sheepshead are being caught in the waterway, creeks and marshes. Look for the drum near the marsh banks or on the nearby flats. Flounder are being caught near docks and pier pilings. There have been some nice Spanish caught but only a few here and there. The blues are biting near the inlets and along the tide line just off the beaches.

Red drum, a few pompano and some croakers are being caught in the surf. The piers are reporting a mixed bag of bottom fish. They also are seeing some big sheephead taken early in the morning and late afternoon on sand fleas near the pilings. Small blues and mullet round out the catching.

The Kings seem to be everywhere. Some are closer to shore with some being caught around the near shore reefs and ledges as well as off the piers. Mahi are being taken from 10 miles and out -- look for a good weed line to work. Some nice sailfish, marlins and Wahoo are being caught out near the Gulf Stream.

Tight lines to all!

Dave - yeah that's been the problem - we have had some great weather but it's all been during the week. Tomorrow (Saturday) is suppose to be decent.
