Our nearshore fleet has been bringing in copious amounts of bluefish and spanish mackerel, with a citation for a 55 pound cobia! Nice! The inshore fleet has also been bringing in blues, as well as striped bass, flounder, sea trout, and a few cobias as well!
Today was a bad day for the sea mullet as our headboat Miss Oregon Inlet absolutely killed it today with them.. In the words of captain Chris Crockett, they “blasted” the sea mullet!
