FISHING REPORT

 

04-25-18

 

Well it looks like we are going to have nice weather for this coming weekend.  The winds are going to be light and the seas subsiding.  There have been good numbers of large 5 to 12 pound bluefish along the beaches and around the artificial reefs just off the beach.  There are already some Atlantic Bonito around the reefs as well.  There are still some old drum on the eastside of the Cape Lookout Shoals.  Offshore there are good numbers of blackfin and yellowfin tuna along with wahoo and dolphin.
