WEATHER OVERVIEW: With the warmer temperatures this week, it should get some of these fish moving around. The wind will be out of the SSE & SSW through Thursday bringing warmer temperatures with it. By Thursday, high temps will be in the low 80s. Friday, the wind will shift out of the NNW and bring cooler winds as we move into the weekend. On Sunday, the wind will shift again out of the ESE. It appears this week Tuesday and Sunday are projected to have the lowest wind, but it still may be tough to get offshore.
