Half day trips are producing good numbers of Spanish mackerel and some decent kingfish while trolling inside of ten miles. Bottom fishing is really good right now with a nice mix of grey snapper porgies,hogfish and big gag grouper. The grouper are closed til September but are still a blast...

Had a great time with Captain Nick and Tyler! Took us to several spots and caught lots of different types of fish. Captain Nick spent time cleaning all the fish as well to be able to take home several bags of fish for dinner.
