Check out some of the catches that were made today: This year is already looking like an incredible year for

Today was a cold day. We’re about to hit the warmer months with April around the corner (it’s looking to be over 60 in just a few days) but today was still pretty frigid. We took a small group out on the water for fishing today, as 5 people came aboard. But the results were

Marilyn Jean Fishing continues to offer some great fishing trips for both locals and visitors. It’s still early season, and we’re still seeing a lot of weather issues that are affecting the schedule.
