Flounder were good before the storm nearshore . We will see what this storm has done. Alot of sewage got dumped and wastewater full of high levels of nitrogen. Sality levels have dropped inshore. Water is dirty . I won't know what's really happening until I fish tomorrow. Been prepping for a hurricane for the last week. Just got the boats serviced and back on the lift.

    We had such a great time on our fishing charter with Dillon! My kids and I had an absolute blast. We caught tons of great fish and learned a few fishing tricks too. The whole experience was so much fun & Dillon made it a great time from start to finish. It was the perfect way to have fun family time, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend this charter!
