Today we went Bay fishing, it’s been very windy this past week hard for any of the boats to get out for inshore and offshore fishing. Captain Mike was awesome, took us to many spots throughout the bay, we caught trout, silver perch, catfish, stingray, sheepshead, and Red Drum .

We had a great time mike was very helpful and told us about the different types of fish we caught and we caught a lot of fish we did not want to keep any fish so most was thrown back in but we donated some nice ones to locals that could use the fish
