Redfish action has been the ticket lately with fish ready and willing to take live bait, cut bait and artificial baits. Snook have been biting on the moving tides on live sardines. Trout have been hitting Saltwater Assassins on a 1/4 oz jig head in 5-7 feet of water.

Flounder were good before the storm nearshore . We will see what this storm has done. Alot of sewage got dumped and wastewater full of high levels of nitrogen. Sality levels have dropped inshore. Water is dirty . I won't know what's really happening until I fish tomorrow. Been prepping for a hurricane for the last week. Just got the boats serviced and back on the lift.

Redfish, sheepshead, trout are on fire inshore, snook are still in the creeks. Red grouper are abundant when you can get out with the crazy winds we've been having!

This month has been great for the near shore(inside 9 miles) fishing. There has been plenty of action with Mangrove Snapper,Grunt,Triggerfish and the occasional hog fish that crash the party. The weather is super hot and the fish seem to be fired up. Black Sea Bass are an occasional catch along with Lane and Yellowtail Snapper. The last two seem to be found in 40 feet or more. Cobia are always a possibility on some of the nearshore reefs and wrecks. We have had great success with light chumming and a flat line out while we bottom fish. You never know what may show up. Book a trip soon so you don't miss all the action.
