Nothing like a nice morning sleeping in, followed up with a fun day of inshore fishing. It was a day for doubles I guess because we ended up keeping 2 sheephead and 2 yellowtail. We had a lot of fun catching and releasing a bunch of fish!

We were busy getting ready for our first Day at The Docks event, but couldn’t resist the urge to go fish inshore Saturday before the set up window. We caught and released a mixed bag of fish. There was some surface action but not from the fish we were hoping for. Thank you to those who made it to the show on Sunday and support our fishing brand!
