5 Hour trips in early spring are a bit different. The trolling bite is slow if there is one at all. Typically we just run out and bottom fish the whole time. Today we kept a bunch of vermilion snapper and had 1 trigger fish. We released a ton of red snapper and small trigger fish. Surprisingly with the moon at almost a full moon phase, and a clear night, the bite was pretty good with action the whole time.

Trip: 5 Hour Bottom Fishing & Trolling
★★★★★
My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.
