http://www.hmbfishing.comThe wind that was staying offshore yesterday decided to mess with us today. But once again it was not what had been forecasted: we were supposed to get northwest winds and ended up with wind straight out of the south. South winds on top of the already good size swell made us very grateful to do as well as we did, because it tends to put the fish completely off the bite.

We had a great group of troopers onboard with several kids finally getting a chance to join us before they have to go back to school, and they all hung in there and did well ending up with just shy of 9 fish per person. The forecast is all over the place right now, but overall it does look like the swell and wind is supposed to back off somewhat over the next several days. We've had a couple of changes in our reservations for our Xtreme Light Tackle Tournament this Sunday and may just have a couple spots available. Interested? Give us a call! It should be a blast.

We like using bars, we like using plastics. But the number one lure day in and day out this year...believe it or not...really, we're not kidding...is the good old shrimp fly or super fly rig. If you want to use a bar or bounce a......
