The day started humid and foggy with some thunderstorms rolling through. The sun was scattered for the afternoon and kept the warmth hanging around. The big boats had a day of fantastic fishing on the blue water. The Blackfin Tuna were on the bite and they slung many over the gunnels. Some King Mackerel and a couple of Dolphin also hit the decks. One or two Wahoo were also included in the mix and a few too small to keep Yellowfin Tuna. The Inshore boats found schools of citation size Red Drum and released many giants.
