Here is a fishing report from Randy(308).

My son Blake and three buddies spent the weekend in 308. About 2:30 Saturday afternoon a guest landed a huge black drum in the boat Channel, near the BBQ area. He was using cut bait on bottom.
Took pictures for 15 minutes and then tried to release the drum, Blake estimated nearly 50 inches long. Someone said it had been caught and released about a week ago or so. Can't prove that.
However, the big drum did not survive. Too much time out of water and the angler did not know to pierce his side and deflate the air bladder.
The boys went out Sunday morning with guide Terry Coufal. Took them to the surf. They were catching trout but it was very rough and two of the boys were already sea sick and a third was getting there.
They got out of the surf and tried various places with little luck. Their final stop was at Scotch Tom reef and they picked up nearly a dozen keepers there to save the trip. Also hood a couple of black tip sharks.
Ended up with 16 trout for the day. Used croaker and piggy perch free lined, which was new to the young fishermen.


I'm glad to see that they caught some at Scotch Tom. That reef had not been producing much for me. Pat(602) reported that he picked up eight trout last Monday and four on Tuesday. He usually fishes out of Cove Harbor.
