Water temps were in the 70 - 76 degree range depending on where you fished. Water was off colored from recent rains and a little muddy in some areas from runoff.
Launch was on incoming tide with high around 7:45.
Two flights went out with the first flight due back at 2:30 and second flight at 2:45.
17 five fish limits were brought in with 6 other teams having 4 fish. 21 double digit weights were brought to the scales.
