Wahoo and Blackfin tuna have been the catch lately. Wahoo has been 2 to 3, every trip, fin has been 5 to 10 every Trip. A few of the trips we would've been able to get a lot more black Fin but after you get your first few on the rock, the sharks find us and start eating them before we can get them to the boat so we had to move and find another group to catch.

The red drum have started to break up from their winter schools and have become much more active. Catching fish on cut baits and fresh shrimp as well as artificial and top water baits. The black drum bite has been very productive catching fishing along boat docks fishing fresh shrimp. The near shore action has by far been the best. The Atlantic bonito have shown up and have been all up and down the beach trolling deep divers and casting at fish on the surface. There have been a few Spanish mackerel around but the numbers have not shown up but expect to see them any day now!

Saturday morning started off with a steady bite but tapered off toward the end of the trip, managed to catch enough for a fish fry though.
