Fishing Reports
Welcome to the new year. Before the festivities, I fished with Captain Chris Trosset and Caleb (my brother) and his wife Alex. We were joined by Kat, and we all had a great time though the fishing was slow. We started by throwing tons of bait looking for tunas, but the only thing that came…
