A very strong east south east wind has everything riled up today...high seas silted water and a temp of 76...sky is overcast and rain is forecast.

aonther repeat of catch you heard about the#45 king, they also got 3-4 others, some good spanish runs, scattered blues, pompano, hardtails, skipjack, and blues

so far today have heard of blues

29 Apr

The wind today is really whipping out of the east, sky is clear water riled up with large waves and a temp of 80

another repeat on reported catches...several good spanish runs, scattered pompano, hard tails, blues and jack caravalle

so far today heard of huge #45 KING
some skipjack, blues, hardtails, and still the spanish runs

28 Apr

Today the wind is out of the east mostly clear skies...water is clear and calm with a temp of 76

no big fish reported yesterday but we did hear about the good spanish runs, and scattered pompano, large hardtails, reds, blues and one school of jack caravalle

so for today the usual hardtails, spanish, and blues

27 Apr

Upon further review, one of the cobias caught yesterday was a bit on the small size and was released unharmed. the fisherman was smart enough to use a net to bring it up rather then harm a questionable fish with a gaff..the other one was not weighted but appeared to be 20-22 pounds..

today we have clear skies and a light north wind...water is a bit murkey with 2-3 and a temp of 77

yesterdays reported catch included the good spanish runs, hardtails, scattered pompano and blues, with at least one king and one run of jack caravalle

so far today we have had scattered blues and hardtails with a couple of spanish runs

everything is looking good for the week end

26 Apr

Looks like we could get some stormy weather today....wwe have a good west wind waves 2-4 with clear water and temp of 82...sky is overcast and might have some rain coming

yesterdays reported catch remained at some good spanish runs, and scattered pompano and hardtails

COBIA COBIA COBIA just in two have been landed in the last few minutes hear both are on the small but legal size

also a few spanish and hardtails

for Nash, coming from Seagrove beach to the pier can take any whee from 35minutes to an hour just depending on traffic

25 Apr

Again we have a light west wind, clear skies, and water...patches of grass are starting to appear in the water...these can ofter hold some dolphin...water temp 86 sounds kinda high to me could have been taken in a very sunny spot waves are 1-2

yesterdays reported catch again about the same a few runs of spanish couple pompano and one run of jack caravalle along with the hardtails.

To answer some of the comments the acutal name of a hardtail is blue runner. Whlie these are used as bait for large game fish, they are a member of the jack family. Most of them go 8-13 inches. The ones I saw yesterday were a bit larger then that. They are a easy and fun fish to catch. The spanish seems to average the same size in each run that comes in sometime barely 12-14 inches others 2-4 pounds.

so far today we have heard of spanish and hardtails being caught

there were two cobai sighted one hook up but lost
