Fishing is great mahis have been all over had a sailfish hooked 2 weeks ago up in close 1/2 mile off beach and have heard of quite of few being caught. Sept 1 - 15 gag groupers will be open so those weekend days red snappers and Gags are open at same time. Recipe for banner trips

The wind is stIll howling. My crew from Chicago caught a bunch of speckled trout. Only got a couple keepers in the boat and lost a couple really nice ones. It looks like the Trout bite is coming in now. The water temp is up to 70 so the fish are getting more active.

Captain Mike: South Padre Fishing Report. The bay fishing is on right now and should only get better throughout the next month. The shrimp and baitfish are migrating into our bay system and the fish are actively hunting them. The speckled trout and redfish are on the move looking for easy meals. This is in my opinion one of the best times of the year to target speckled trout with artificial baits and live baits.

Typically the high spring winds will start to die off towards the end of May and early June. This weather combined with the influx of the spring bait migration leads to some good fishing. It's a great time to introduce the kids to some fishing action. Schools of black drum should also magically show up soon. My schedule is filling up for summer so you may want to pick some dates.

Freeport, Florida
Reported 2 years ago
This spring fishing has started off to a good start. Water temperatures range from the high 50s to the low 70s depending on the weather week to week. Once water temperatures stabilize the bite should be more consistent. Spanish mackerel have been found inshore and outside of the pass; easily targeted on a four hour trip trolling and using live bait, incoming tides seem to be producing greater numbers of Spanish mackerel. Offshore, triggerfish have been very active. Several keeper size triggerfish have been caught. The Vermilion snapper bite has began to become very consistent, and their table fair is...

The Vermilion snapper bite has began to become very consistent, and their table fair is unmatched; limiting out has been a common trend on 6-8hr charters. Several Gag grouper have been caught and safely released. The Gulf is coming alive and this season is shaping up to be one for the books.

    We had terrible weather for our trip which made the day slow, but Keith has a great positive attitude and energy and worked hard to put us on the fish. Despite the very poor weather, we were still able to catch a few sharks (our target) and some other fish. We appreciated Keith’s focus and hard work to give us success!

    Brought my kids on the trip. Craig and crew were very accommodating and assisted family so I could also catch fish. Very friendly and highly recommend if bringing a family with mixed age group. Caught many snapper and get a few larger fish, grouper, Bonita, amber jack. I will be looking up Craig for my next fishing trip in Destin.
