Water temp was in the mid 80's. We caught and released quite a few trout and redfish, but also everyone wanted to catch a shark, so we got into those as well.

Capt. Rick had back to back 4 hour charters today. The water temp was mid 80's and clear. The first charter we spent out in Wassaw Sound . The weather report called for 5 to 10 out of the southwest, but it was more like 20 out of the northeast. The 4 guys enjoyed and wanted to catch some sharks, so they were in luck as some of the biggest bonnet heads of the year seemed to be schooling. We kept 3 sharks and 2 trout.

The second trip started at 11am, so we fished the bottom of the tide and some of the incoming. We did catch and release some sharks, kept a couple trout and got into a decent redfish bite to end the trip. These were inshore reds and were still on the short side of legal. We probably released 25 or more. The second picture goes with this report. The shark opend up his mouth and had to be released quickly , so the picture does not show the entire shark.

Capt. Rick had a 5 hour charter today. The water temp was 82° and stained. Had to look for clear water today. We are in the midst of ASTRONOMICAL tides. These occur 3 or 4 times a year. We experienced very high tides and extreme lows. However this did not affect our fishing. We just had to be careful in the rivers with all the trash that had been washed out of the marshes.

I had Clay, and Al today along with Clays son. Below is some of the fish we kept, and we did release the large 6.5lb redfish that Clay caught. We kept a few normal trout that AL caught, and a very nice trout that Clays son caught, right at 18.5 inches. Clay Kept a 23 inch red and released one that was over 6lbs. All in all a good day of catching. We also caught and released several blues and ladyfish.

Oh, the large trout and reds were caught under the Inticer popping cork and live shrimp from Adams Baithouse.
