The fishing has been a little slow for us but today it turned on hard. We had trout, gaff top, lady fish, bull reds and more keeping us on our toes. Used live bait and artificial. Today's bite was just awesome, here are a few pics.

The fishing here has been pretty steady this past month. Redfish, black snapper, flounder, trout and mackerel have been plentiful. Offshore fishing has been great whenever we can get out there!

The amberjack bite has been on fire as well as Almaco Jacks, Triggerfish are running small so hooking up with a keeper trigger has been a chore! Plenty of Vermillion snapper and Porgy's around though. Trolling has been hit or miss, depending on the current some days we catch 6 and some days they aren't hitting! The blackfin are on the move as the water temp starts to drop they are moving closer inside of state waters! King mackerel have been the main ones we have been hooking up with on the shotgun trolling! Red snapper are everywhere but out of season for us!

The spanish mackerel , jack crevalle, and mangrove snapper have been caught inshore and a slight cool front just cooled the Temps down for us. We've caught big amberjack, mingos and Spanish mackerel offshore as well!

It's fall time and the inshore bite is heating up. In the bays we are still catching some great Spanish mackerel floating live shrimp with about a 1/2 ounce Carolina rig. Inshore, the trout and redfish are hitting suspending jerk-baits and plastics such as paddle tails or curly tails. Offshore,...

Inshore, the trout and redfish are hitting suspending jerk-baits and plastics such as paddle tails or curly tails.
Offshore, it's game on for big schools of skipjacks and Bonita boiling up. Look for any type of floating cover and you'll find schools of Mahi and triple tails swimming around it.
Now is the time to get those trolling plugs out and search for those trophy fish such as Mahi, wahoo, sails, and swords!
