Fishing Report for July 26
July 26th, 2011 by Indian River Marina

The fishing continues to be, well, let’s just say “hot” does not do it justice. Yesterday and today, some of our Charter Boats came back early with outriggers full of flags flying and limits of Tuna. Inshore, Inlet and Back Bays are also having good catches.

I think for this report, the pictures will tell it all, so here they are.
