High seas have caused a lot of schedule changes and made fishing challenging. The Mahi bite has cooled as the wind and seas have blown the weed lines apart and trolling is picking up bits and pieces of grass. Our best luck has been finding patches of grass and chumming them to see if any mahi are lurking around.

A lot of snapper and snook right now. Snapper we can keep and they have to be 10" to keep and we have been limiting out almost every day.

    We had a great day on the water with Captain Phil. I took my 16 year old out with me who has little experience and Captain Phil was very attentive and made it a great experience for her. I would recommend Captain Phil for your next outing. They worked hard to ensure we had a great time.
