The Spanish were biting well for about 2 hours after sunrise along the beach. We got out late and missed it. We ran to Rich's Inlet and the Spanish had stoppped biting here as well. So we headed out to AR362 and I nailed a 23" Gag. We also caught some nice Seabass, Grunts (1 was 16") and a nice porgy.

We headed off to AR366 and pulled plugs for Kings but had to takers and the cigar minnows were scattered around so jigging livebaits was slow. We decided to move off to AR368 to see if there were any Amber Jacks on the wreck. As we hit the buoy we saw some flashes and started throwing a topwater. It got slammed on the second drift. We landed two nice AJ's and started targeting the Barracuda that were mixed in with the AJ's. The cuda's were too wiley and were not hitting topwater or tubes. The wind picked up and we headed for the hill.
