With the water temperature creeping back up, we ran offshore and got a jump start on the offshore trout. I had the Wallace party on board for the day and this fun group always has a good time. The gulf was as slick as could be for the morning hours which resulted in a slow bite, but when the breeze kicked in; so did the fishing. We used a combination of bourbon and watermelon colored MirrOlure Lil' John's for the baits of the day. The gang secured plenty of fish for tonight's fish fry and luckily, they didn't have to "buy any chicken". Thank you as always for the fun time and look forward to seeing you again... Capt. Dan
