Grouper season just started which is a nice bonus as well be fishing for yellowtail snapper, both are amazing table fare. If your interested in offshore fishing mahi and start to really be plentiful on the weed lines and floating debris with the bonus wahoo or sailfish. Also this month is the start of snapper spawning and mutton snapper, mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper will be aggregating to spawn on the reefs and bring a lot of action aggressively biting. Options and endless come make some memories this summer!

Paulie was an awesome captain. I can’t say enough good things about him. We weren’t sure we’d find my dream dolphin fish since they were pretty scattered…captain Paulie found them and put us on em! The best fishing charter I’ve been on in a long time. I’d recommend him to everyone.

I can only highly recommend Hunter - we booked a spearfishing trip out West and had an absolutely great time. Hunter knew the area inside out, is a great captain with lots of experience, had high quality gear, and we saw (and shot) a lot of fish, mostly grouper. Highly recommend and will be back!
