Good Morning, Offshore yesterday the kingfish bite was good to the south with a few nice fish around and a bunch of 10 to 15lbs in 60 to 90ft with a few cobia mixed in. The dolphin bite was hit or miss in 150 to 200ft find a rip or a temp break and should find a few fish. The bottom fishing is still steady with a few nice snapper around on the reef in 60ft. The cobia are starting to show up so have a rod ready with a jig or live bait on your way out. Inshore the red bite has slowed down to the north reports of a few nice snook and trout around the spoil islands live bait is the bait of choice. The jetty has had a few snook at night on jigs and some flounder and pompano during the day on live shrimp. The weather looks good this weekend hopefully everyone can get out. Todays weather-

Synopsis: A high pressure ridge will extend across the local waters through the weekend and provide a light to gentle breeze. High pressure will then build off the mid Atlantic coast into early next week increasing the southeast flow across the marine area Monday into Tuesday.
