• Nearshore fishing

    We took a family from Kansas fishing today in close to the beach for bluefish and spanish mackerel. It was a very sucessful outing. Started out quite slow with rough seas but when the tide turned the seas calmed down and the fish started biting with a vengence. Made for some very happy fishermen.
