It was a little bumbie out there today with a 20 to 25 knot northeast wind - we were able to pick at the fish on jigs bait. The range of size was a little wierd as we had fish from 4 lbs to 18lbs and not just one of each but many of each size.

We were the only 3 4 day boat to sail today out of Atlantic. We had a tough start with hard Northeast winds but we managed to pluck a few keepers in the morning.
We are reading a ton of fish down there on most spots now all we need is the weather to work with us and we will have very good fishing just have to pick a nice day and don't just look to see if the sun is out that has nothing to do with winds. Share Capt. Mike
