Full Moon Tides Can Be Tough! - Another week of three trips. The fishing was great, but the catching leaves a lot to be desired. Yes. We were fishing in front of the full moon this week, but even for full moon tides the fishing was tough! Frankly, I don't know what's going on.

Quantity Over Quality and Drive-By Fishing - I had three trips booked for the week, but delayed one because the fishing remains so off. Actually, the fishing is fine. It's the catching that's really in the tank. Still, we're having lots of fun out there, big catches or not.
