We are catching plenty of nice grouper and hogfish right now. We are also taking advantage of the spring migration of Spanish and king mackerel. Plenty of big bites and good eats!

Captain Phil was great and we all enjoyed the trip. The fish didn't cooperate at first, but Captain Phil moved us to another spot and we got better action.
