Local Reports

Snapper on the chew in the bay. Finally, we are seeing more size to the snapper in the bay!

Recently the offshore crew went out and enjoyed all the local reefs had to offer. Double Island is still a great option for those boats heading wide and the pelagics are definitely thicker there.
