It was a hot one out there today, but with a little south breeze and some occasional cloud cover it was a nice day to be on the water. I got to go fishing with my buddy Big Bird Cropper for a new episode of Hooked on OC and it was a blast as usual. We had a limit of bluefish, one trout, some rockfish, a small flounder and an umbrella. Awesome time!

We’ve got some awesome fishing going on offshore so it should be a great OC Marlin Club Canyon Kick Off this weekend. The crew of Pumpin’ Hard had a great day today with a blue marlin release, some yellowfin tuna and a mahi.

The crew of Boss Hogg had an awesome day with the tunas today putting a pile of nice fish on the dock at Sunset Marina.

Captain Chris Watkowski and the two angler crew of Spring Mix II had a fantastic day of fishing with a limit of yellowfin tuna.

Kevin McNelis and his folks had a banner day of flounder fishing over ocean structure catching a three man limit of fish in just over 2 hours.

Captain Jason Mumford of Lucky Break Charters had two good trips today with flounder in the morning and then some very nice sheepshead and black drum this afternoon.



This nice keeper flounder was caught on the Calico Jack this afternoon with Captain Drew at the helm.

Captain Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star enjoyed the seas today and his anglers enjoyed the fishing.
