Good Morning, Offshore over the weekend the wind finally clamed down enough to get out. The Dolphin bite was hit or miss in 80 to 300ft with live and dead bait have both produced well. The kingfish bite was slow with some sizable fish but a bunch of little guys out in 80ft with a scattered sailfish around. The bottom fishing was ok out in the 160ft stuff with some jacks and grouper around. Inshore the trout and reds have been around good to the north of Harbor Branch top water and soft baits have produced well. The snook bite has been good around the bridges on jigs and live bait on the out going tide. The inlet has been good on the incoming tide with pig and pinfish with a couple of big reds around to. Looks like the wind will stick around till Thursday. We just got a shipment of First Light jigs in so come on in and stock up the snook bite should get good in the next few weeks. Todays weather –
