What a week of weather! Monday we had storms and hail followed by late afternoon storms mid-week and some swell to boot.

With the winds blowing a bit harder and combined wind/ground swell coming through the offshore scene was a bit quieter this week. A few charters went wider to Double Island and scored a mixed bag of reef fish including, cobia, parrot, pearl perch, snapper, sweetlip and the occasional longtail tuna.
