Nice catch Chris!
Here is this weeks fishing report and forecast from Chris at East Coast Sports. Check out East Coast for your fishing needs from bait to fishing rods and reels to that perfect fishing shirt and hat. East Coast is one of my favorite places on the island to browse and shop. Chris and Doug will help with any fishing problems or questions you may have. If you can't get there in person, visit them on the web at East Coast Sports.com. Be sure to ask Chris about Charley, Chris's new baby boy. Chris is really a proud Dad, and rightly so.
