Today’s high got up to 89. It’s hot and humid out there. Winds have stayed below 12mph all day. It’s currently blowing around 6mph out of the ESE. Tomorrow winds are going to switch to SSW.
It’s been a pretty fishing day, we’ve weighed multiple citation Pompano here in the shop. We even got to weigh a nice 40lb Cobia.
The surf from Avon to Hatteras has been busy and packed but Ramp 55 has been the spot for the Pompano.
Inshore boats got Speckled Trout, Red Drum, and Spanish Mackerel again.
Offshore boats caught Blackfin Tuna and Dolphin and released more Blue Marlins.
