Hello Anglers,
We left Fisherman’s Landing Friday morning on trip #20, 3-Day Weekend Limited Load, running July 11 – 14, 2025. The first night and couple of days we fished mixed grade fish up to 70 lbs. Good action at night and a nice day time plunker. The sign dissipated midday, and we made a move yesterday afternoon and it paid off. Very good opportunity last night on XL grade fish. Handful of them over 200, most ranged from 150-200 lbs.
