05/31/2009 Offshore Fishing Report

After two weeks of all day rain, the old man and I cleared the inlet around 8am with flat seas and a light northwest wind. We set up to drift in 80 feet as we were drifting northeast. The Yellowtail, Mutton, and Grouper were biting well in 90 feet. The kings were scarce probably due to the heavy pressure from the KDW Classic on Saturday however we did land these two kings around noon off Singer Island using dead freelined ballyhoo. Bonito are becoming thicker by the hour it seems. All in all we had 6 fish in the cooler by noon and the old man caught some fish to take home to the Ohioans. The west wind and heavy rains have created murky conditions once again.
