Away from the tournament, Captain Jason Mumford of Lucky Break Charters had a great day of inshore fishing for his anglers as well putting them on a bunch of keeper sheepshead and a slot red drum.
Captain Chris Watkowski and the crew of the Spring Mix II had a great day offshore putting a limit of mahi in the box along with a skippy that will be used for bait. They also released several small bluefin tuna on the trip. Spring Mix II is looking for anglers for an offshore trip next Friday so if you’re interested get in touch with them to get some meat before the season ends.
Mike Brockmeyer and his crew had a great day of flounder fishing the east channel. They put six keepers in the box between 18″ and 21″ using live spot.
Lamar Meekins with a nice 6.5 pound sheepshead weighed in at Henlopen Bait & Tackle.
