The crew couldn't stand to wait any longer yesterday. We've been getting bored with wreck fishing all Winter and decided to give it a go just for the hell of it. Went yesterday early afternoon over to the Fishermans island breakers and went as far up in there as we could get. It's really changed alot in there since last year but we were able to find a decent cut to get inside the breakers. We only caught 3 but they were all paper size fish and very fiesty. Water temp was 53 where we were fishing. All fish were caught on live crabs right on the very top of the bars, in the breaking waves.
They are here, go get em!!!!!
