Hey guys. Had Jen P and her crew out recently to try their hand at catching spiny lobster for the first time. Everyone ended up catching a few. Plenty for lunch and some for dinner.

Offshore mahi have been caught if you have enough time or fast back because we have been running 20+ miles to find cooler water holding quality fish. A few bonito, wahoo and blackfin tuna have been caught. Saw two marlin this past month no chewers.

Inshore has been good with quality and consistent mangrove snappers. Also having fun with lots of Jack carvelle and lemon sharks. Most of the tarpon have pushed out.

Lobster mini season was a success. No one on any of our boats cried or died, and we even managed to catch a few lobster. I hope...

the boost of the economy (including mine) was worth the resource depletion. It's a tough balance to find.

We are still having a solid offshore bite with good snapper and grouper on the reef! Our real exciting news is lobster season it's just around the corner. Mini season is less than two weeks away and regular season is less than three weeks away. I've been seeing lots and lots of really good solid lobsters when I'm doing my Lion Fish dives so I'm sure it's going to be a great lobster season!

Fishing has been decent but mostly mangys and yellowtail on the reef. Still a few muttons being caught but not as good as it was during the spawns. Dolphin have not been great but still some small fish being caught in our area. The sargasso weed is still making trolling difficult but if you can find a lane you can get a few. Looking forward to the dive season coming up for spiny lobster!

Some permit have been moving in. There's still plenty of tarpon in the early morning and late afternoon. Also been finding some cobias on the wrecks.

    Our guide was knowledgeable and courteous I booked a all day trip and we had some good shots at catching fish. The only thing I was surprised at was the only food available for all day was water. I have booked many flats fishing excursions and always was supplied with at least a sandwich
