In the fishing news, the big move has come offshore in the Stream where the Wahoo seemed to have stepped it up a bit. Several boats had good catches in the 100/400 and Black Jack area, most with Wahoo in the 20-40 pound range. There were also a few Mahi and Sailfish mixed in with catches as well. Closer in, the Kings are biting pretty good in 90-110 feet of water and so are the Grouper and Snapper. We haven't seen much from the Kings in the 50-70 foot range this past week, but we are doing well on the Spanish Macks in 15-25 feet of water. That's pretty much the story. We are in the heat of the Summer and the Kings won't likely be back in until mid September. The best thing should be Wahoo as they typically really pick up into September and the Fall.

I received these pictures from Pat Steele. They are of William Parker and friends at the Gary Ennis. They said there was lots of bait and that got into the Kings pretty good. I had server problems so I was just able to post these pictures.
