Summer fishing has been as hot as the weather. There has been action both offshore and inshore. From flounder to mahi there has been something for everyone. The off shore bite has been OK as fish have moved a little deeper toward the canyon. Mahi have been caught as close in as Blackfish Bank. Spades and triggers have supplemented the strong flounder bite at the cars and other near shore wrecks. The cobia bite in the lower bay has slowed a little but we are getting ready for the August red drum run. Put you cursor on the pics for more info and reports
