Fishing Report for 8/1/15

Written on: August 1st, 2015 in Fishing Report

The weather and the fishing continue to be amazing here at Indian River Marina! Inshore reports hold steady with Seabass, Bluefish, Croaker, and still a good number of Flounder. Offshore reports Dolphin, Wahoo, Yellowfin and some large Bigeye Tuna. Also offshore there have been increasing White and Blue Marlin releases, which is great for the upcoming tournament. With it being a perfect day we can’t wait to see all the catches that get brought in today.

As we get closer to the White Marlin Open starting on Monday, more boats are coming into dock and it looks like it will be a great tournament this year. Good luck to all those competing.

Below are some great photos of catches here at Indian River Marina.
