Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report.

The fish are biting folks! The water temps in the sound are around the low 70's and the reds are tearing it up. The creeks off the waterway seem to be the best places to look for a school. I took a charter out on Sunday and we caught 19 back in a creek on cut bait and live bait. All I could find was little pinfish but they were hitting them.

The surf is giving up some Red and Black drum along with some whiting and all different sizes of Bluefish. Heck I've hooked a couple in the last that looked to be in the 10 lb range but they cut us off before we could boat them. The best thing I can advise you folks to do is to GO FISHING! It ain't going to do anything but get better.

Turkey season is still in till the 10th so if you ain't got one yet, there's still hope! Well I'm going on a fishing trip/vacation this coming week to the Fla Keys, so next weeks column is going to be missing ya'll. Hope you understand and I will give you folks the details when I get back. So till week after next be safe and take a kid with you!

Capt. David
