Hope everyone's enjoying this beautiful holiday weekend. We took this week off to deal with some maintenance items before the summer really gets going, so there's not a lot for me to report this week. Everything's ready to go, and we're back to a normal charter schedule next week.

Of course, I did have to sneak out once this week just to keep my sanity so I grabbed my buddy Capt. Alex for a couple hours of captainly R&R on Wednesday. There was still a pretty good fluke bite going on, and it looks like the fish are starting to spread out across the bay rather than being concentrated in a couple of areas. We actually had one drift that ran close to two miles, with a steady pick of fish the entire stretch. We're still seeing a dozen or so "shorts" for each keeper, but the good news is that there are enough fish being caught to ensure fish in the box at the end of the morning.
