Me, Andrew, Bryan and his uncle hit the waters after a rainy afternoon. We sat at the ramp until about 5pm when the skies cleared enough for us to get out and see if we couldn't catch something for dinner. There was bait everywhere although we couldn't catch it. We saw a free jumping Sail in 180' of water just north of the inlet. We ran over to it but no luck getting him to bite. We did manage a bonita to save the skunk. Had been awfully close the last few times and was getting pretty discouraging to see how slow the bite was.

Me, Carrie, Richard and Amber hit the water around 9am after rain delayed our start. We again really struggled to find fish but Richard managed one 20lb bonita at the very end of the day. We trolled, bottom fished, and basically tried everything except dynamite with no luck. We saw several turtles which made Amber happy!

Me, Carrie, Becca and Matt hit the inlet bright and early in search of Sails and Dolphin again. Fishing had been very slow the last few trips but we gave it a shot anyhow. Caught a couple of nice Mutton's while bottom fishing and then went looking for dolphin. Found nice weeds but no Mahi. Caught this little guy on a Sabiki rod while trying to get bait under a weedline in 600'. So can't say we didn't catch one...

Carrie and her Parent's joined me for a fishing adventure in what amounted to be a very slow day. It took almost the entire morning to finally catch a Bonita. Between the return of the fog and choppy seas as the day went on we at least avoided the big goose egg! Trolled the beach for bait and caught a Spanish Mackerel that actually jumped out of the water while hitting the bait. Have seen kings do this but never a Spanish. Was pretty cool.

Me, Luke, Carrie, Tyler and Andrew headed offshore in search for Sailfish and Dolphin. We found 1 of the 2. Caught these dolphin in about 600' just running and gunning and happen to see them swimming below the boat. Saw a few more but could not get them to bite. Landed a few nice Spanish Mackerel's and Kings while trolling for Blue Runners by Breakers. Felt good to catch fishing again. Seas were very calm temps were very mild.

Me, Luke, Carrie and Taylor hit the ICW for a sunset cruise. Luke and I couldn't resist so we trolled a few plugs around the turning basin hoping to get Taylor a fish but we struck out. Ended up just cruising around for a few hours and had fun. As of this time we hadn't been on the water since Dec 28 so it was nice just to be back on the water in any capacity.

In what was meant to be a cruising trip with Carries' Mom's friends from Ohio, I couldn't resist dropping in a line in front of Breakers. The wind was from the NW so we snuck out close to the beach but couldn't catch anything. Then we started cruising. Probably could have fished offshore a bit more but didn't want to chance it with the land lubbers on the boat. There were a bunch of weeds and my guess is there were some fish to be caught.

Me, Matt and Joyce headed offshore for an after Christmas trip. Could not get much to bite other than some random bottom fish. Bait was hard to come by so we pulled the old trolling over the wrecks trick for a Barracuda and landed this guy. Matt's first cuda!

Me, Dad, Julie and Carrie hit the waters for a quick trip for my birthday. Seas were not too bad so we headed offshore and landed a decent King. Was just happy to be out after the Bucks won the Big10 Championship and the celebrations were in full force. Water temps really cooled off over the last few weeks running near 79. We trolled plugs for the King near the beach to make sure Julie got her sea legs. Ran offshore eventually but couldn't find any Dolphin.

Carrie, Andrew and Doug hit the waters before College football games and managed some dolphin on some weeds and a nice Kingfish. Weeds were in abundance but the fish were somewhat scarce. Definitely dropped off from the previous couple of weeks. We also netted a Carrie in the cast net!
