[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]IN GENERAL: Some off-color water closer to shore backed up with some wind[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]slowed the action down or at least convinced most of the guests to kick[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]back, relax, enjoy the sun and suck up a margarita or two. Those who did go[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]out traveled a little further to get to the clean water, but they were not[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]disappointed. Football-size tuna, quality dorado and a few marlin rewarded[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the tenacious. Back inshore, the big jacks and roosters are giving everybody[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the heebie-jeebies. Wind or not, early the other morning both were whacking[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the mullet and ballyhoo schools out in front of Punta Colorada, and,[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]according to[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the eyewitnesses, it was an awesome site. Throw some larger patterns in your[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]bag and come on down to pick a fight with one of these bruisers and we will[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]· INSHORE: The white water is not from the wind. It is a bunch of big,[/font][/size]
