Hey guys, been fighting some tough weather conditions. once we get through this cold spell, we'll get back in the water. We've been getting good lobsters and Lionfish. The cobia are here on the wrecks now and the patch reef fishing is staying solid.

Reef fishing has been consistently good with constant action on the yellowtail bite and a few good groupers. Inshore fishing has been steady with the lane snapper bite this week. We have had some fun night fishing trips catching sharks and loading up the cooler with snapper as well.

This time of year with the colder weather we have been targeting Speckled sea trout and pompano in the basin's. My last few trip we had a great bite with the trout including the photo of a 21" trout. A few pompano have been caught as well. Hopefully that bite will improve after this most recent cold front, also catching some big barracuda up on the flats which is typical for cooler winter days.

Yellow Jack fishing has been very consistent over the past few weeks. Live bait such as pinfish or pilchards has been producing best, but anglers are also catching them on bucktail jigs and topwater lures. These hard-fighting jacks put up a great battle and are excellent table fare. The inshore...

The inshore snapper bite is red hot right now. Using live or cut bait, anglers are catching plenty of legal snapper in the shallow waters.
A few cobia have started to show up, but the large numbers we’ve seen in recent years haven’t arrived just yet.
