Captain Bobby Freeman and Mate, Kenny Spencer carried a party from Fayetteville, NC for grouper fishing trip but current was running from 2.6-3.8 MPH so we chose to troll for dolfin instead. Baits in the water 2 miles inshore of 90' Drop yielded fish right away. Bite was best at 90' Drop and on the 60 Fathom edge at the Big Rock. No made-up grass lines but fish were found along color changes and eddies. Beat the cold front by returning to dock at 4:00 PM Sunday
