"Dec Fishin at its Best"

"Here Fishy Fishy"

The past week has had its ups and downs, due to

the weather conditions and the ones that got away.

Heres a few Pic's of our past week charters.

The RockHound has been on the fish all week, day

and night. The night charters had been hit and miss

early in the week, but has picked up the last few nights.

The day bite is on fire right now, we boated some

nice Rocks this week. We had lost some big Fish

after battling them in 4 to 5 foot waves. 



With the last week of the 2011 Bay season

closing in, its time to get on the RockHound

and hook in to that big Rock Fish.

day and night. So call Captain Pete for more info.

Please no E-Mails as I'm out fishing day and night

and can't get to check my PC as often as I would like.

Capt. Pete
