- Fishing Report 7-03-2008 - Posted to LiveLine Charters Fishing Report by SFTC Press Took a family in from Texas visiting for the holiday weekend on a live bait trip.

It took a little while to get them interested because the ocean was flat and a lot of bait around. Hooked a lot of fish but broke off more than we landed.
