Fishing Report

October is here!!!

All drive on ramps have been reopened!!!

The beach looks very fishy.  Plenty of new structure to check out.

We have not seen any fresh bait since the storm.  Mullet might have headed south.  

Water temp dropped 10 degrees into the low 60's.  

Tog action in the Inlet has been good.  No word on sheepshead,  

Blues in the Inlet on the incoming tide.  Look feeding birds.
