Good Morning, Offshore the last few days was hit or miss with a few dolphin and sails around on both live and dead bait. The kingfish bite has been good on the reef in 60 to 80ft with a few nice fish mixed in on bigger baits. The bottom fishing has been steady on the deep wrecks with some big jacks around it looks like the wind will blow up the next few days and hopefully calm back down for the weekend. Inshore the snook bite has been steady at night on live bait around the bridges on the outgoing tide. The turn basin has had some Spanish mackerel around on the incoming tide. Todays weather info-
