Luckily the fish don't mind getting wet, in fact they prefer it!Offshore: The offshore fishing has been very good on the entire coast. The sea and heavy launch has been the most limiting factor but weather plays along…it has been magical. Rock and Surf: The sea has not been giving up its bounty as easily as last week.

With the big seas, a lot of sea anglers have found the excitement and fast-paced action of bass fishing or the relaxation of carp and trout fishing.
