For what it's worth, heres the forecast - Patchy low clouds and fog for awhile this morning…otherwise partly sunny with an isolated shower or afternoon thunderstorm. Highs in the mid to upper 80s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph…increasing to 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent. I think it would kill them to just say its a pretty nice day after some early morning fog!
We had some Blackfish weighed in! Al Meola had a 20" 4.9 lb blackfish he got with a sandcrab. Mary Meola had one at 15.5" 2,2 lbs taken on a greencrab.
We have some reports of big blues showing up just offshore. They were MIA for a while so maybe we will start seeing them come in to the beaches soon. There are lots of reports of fluke on the beach but the keeper ratio is poor.
We got a big box of Gulp Swim Minnows and Pogy's last night, and there is more coming on Friday! All your favorite colors are back in stock.
Mike is still trying to figure out how to bring even more stuff with him for next weeks trip. He had to put his suitcase on a crash diet already but he wants more! The only thing he hasn't tried would be to wear a winter coat with some really big pockets that he can stuff. The only thing he isn't talking about taking is clothes. This is gettiong scary!

They have a laundry at the hotel so who needs a lot of clothes. I figure if I threaten to fish naked I can get the Grump to wash them for me too. Seems like a win win situation. Bring a bunch more stuff and not have to do laundry. And he says I'm not too bright……………Mike
