Fishing the last month

Sept 16, 2019 light east wind with water at 79F .I have not been doing much fishing but David and I have caught some flounder fishing in the river a few puppy drum and there have been some Cobia caught also. The other day we went out in the ocean and saw some cobia but we were not able to hook up, missed three papers that stole our bait. Came in to finish the third island for David for the fourth  paper of the year and got his red drum. 47 inches. The drum are here as well as some big sharks

Fishing the past month

Cobia fishing has been fair to ask like depending on the days that you go the weather has been pretty good the flounder fishing has improved but that’s not saying much and the feet said fishing is horrible but on the brighter side the Spanish macro season is one of the best ever.
