Sportboat Roundup with Tonie Bangos – April 6, 2023

We’re optimistic about our opportunities in the coming days and weeks, and at the same time are keeping it real bringing you the latest news out of the sportboat scene. It’s not for a lack of fish, but the weather this Spring has been absolutely brutal with seemingly relentless winds making the fishing conditions less than ideal. With that being said, more and more boats have started to untie and with more coverage comes more fish in the RSW. Both yellowtail and bluefin have begun to make their way back home with anglers who have hopped on early season trips. Let’s hope it’s not too long before our season breaks wide open, and in the meantime Tonie checks in with the latest news and some recommendations if you’re headed out on a trip soon.
