A couple of bad weather days resulted in a 2 day port closure for the fleet and hampered the fishing results but following the windy conditions, the fish returned to their normal good bite mode throughout the area.

PM Climate: Partly cloudy but warm days with temps that varied from 76 nights to 86 daytime highs.
