After a quiet and tense few days here around the marina the forecast finally allowed for some of the fleet to head back out and see what they could find.  The Poor Man’s Canyon was the popular fishing grounds today and the first back to the dock was the crew of the Reel Toy with a wheelbarrow’s worth of dolphin.  The next boat in was the crew of the ‘Bar South’ returning with 5 white releases and a few dolphin.  Right behind them was the ‘Intents’ with 4 white marlin releases and then the crew of ‘Reel chaos’ who had 4 white releases and 12 dolphin.  We continue to monitor the hurricane Florence carefully, however today’s projections seem to be bringing good news for the weekend.  Make sure you stay tuned!!
