I have 3 reports but I will just post them in the same one here. Sorry for being long & late.

Nearshore, July 15th - Took my mom, aunt, and cousin saltwater fishing for the first time while they were visitingfrom NC. My mom and cousin did GREAT. My aunt on the other hand spent most of the day bent over the side of the boat. lol. = Fishedthe 18s= triggers, snapper &biggest was 18", red lips, white snapper (big & small), doctorfish (pretty!), mangrove, small gag, small strawberry, 2 seven foot hammerheads swam by as we were packing up to head in (they were loooong!!). All fish were caught on live threadfins, old boston mackerel, or squid.

The gang heading out.



One of Becky's Triggers.



Inshore, July 19th - Fished a public pier up the street = had the place to ourselves = HOT as HADES today= I had to pull my moo moo up over my head for some shade!! Finally had to jump in the h2o to cool off.We caught small drum on beef jerky, pinfish on small pieces of squid, saw what resembled trumpetfish/cornetfish (?), 2 small flounder, plenty mullet (big & small).





Surf, July 19th - Fished the Pointe this afternoon = caught all kinds of smallerfish = tiny grouper, pinfish, grunts, squirrelfish,spotted tails + more.Mostly grassy over there and full of jellyfish. As soon as a squid tipped sabiki went down we had a fish of some sort on. We set some of the smaller pinfish and grunts out on the bottombut nothing took them. A guy fishing nearby us landed himself a small ray.
