We had a nice early March day today with decent temps that got into the 50s and it felt even nicer with little to no wind throughout the day. I was even able to get out on the golf course with some good friends and get some fresh air. The weather warms up even more starting tomorrow with temps reaching into the upper 60s, but that increase comes with wind from the south so fishing will be tough. Captain Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star was able to get out on the rip for some bottom fishing today and though it wasn’t a home run, he did put some nice fish in the boat.Nice bit of art in today’s rising sun. Birthday guys JoJo & James built some reef. Ran off the beach this day; looking for some big tog.Nicked a few sea bass. Knot-heads growing vivid blue, tails longer & broader to impress the ladies – it’ll soon be a mad dash inshore for male sea bass to stake their claim on spawning habitat.For tog?Grand hopes dashed. We had the slowest of slow picks. My swinging for the fence nearly left us struck out.Joe’s 25.5 inch released tog took the money. He had no real competition among other keepers. All but one of today’s tog were tagged.
