05/08/2009 Offshore Fishing Report

With almost no wind and clear skies we set out around 830am. Our first drift was south of the inlet in 100 feet Within 15 minutes Paige landed her first Kingfish. It is very clear that the Kingfish bite has picked up significantly in the last couple of weeks despite the full moon this weekend. The fish must not be as smart either because Doug finally landed a 15lb King. It doesnt compare to the smoker king he lost last week but it will do. After three Kingfish and a few bottom dwellers we trolled bonito strips from 100' to 600' straight out the inlet with no luck. Water has still been very clear with the lack of rain.
