Been waking up and stacking the gags lately! The bite has been producing both daytime and nighttime, with a mix of artificial lures and live bait putting fish in the boat.
During the day, we’ve been working lures around structure and targeting areas holding quality fish. Once the sun goes down, we’ve been switching things up and putting out lively baits, which have been getting some serious attention.
The fish have been chewing, the action has been consistent, and the quality of the gags has made for some awesome trips. Nothing beats watching that rod...

GAG GROUPER FISHING REPORT 🎣
Been waking up and stacking the gags lately! The bite has been producing both daytime and nighttime, with a mix of artificial lures and live bait putting fish in the boat.
During the day, we’ve been working lures around structure and targeting areas holding quality fish. Once the sun goes down, we’ve been switching things up and putting out lively baits, which have been getting some serious attention.
The fish have been chewing, the action has been consistent, and the quality of the gags has made for some awesome trips. Nothing beats watching that rod load up and knowing you’ve got a good grouper coming to the boat!
The key has been staying on productive structure, changing up presentations, and being ready when that big bite comes.
The gags are stacking up—time to go bend some rods! 🎣🔥
The last couple of weeks have been a good mix bag of fish. Offshore the Red grouper bite continues to be good on the nearshore ledges along with lane snapper, mangrove snapper, Grunts and Spanish mackerel have moved in. The inshore has been good early morning with a solid reddish bite and snook on the beachs. You can also find mangrove snapper around the bridges and dock, small sheeps head are showing up as well.

Going out with Captain Brad was a great time. He is a no nonsense guide who went above and beyond to get us on the fish. Even in not so great weather, he made sure we all had a great time.
I brought my son down for a weekend of cast and bkast. We soent all day Sunday with Captain Vasiliy aka The Russian Redneck. He runs a very nice wellcraft center consolw. Boat is in great shape with lots if room.
We met at the boat launch around 0745 and after quick introductions we shoved off. A quixk stop at a marina baitshop on our way and the day began. We hit an area on tge way out fir maybe 30 min to catch some live baitfish and puahed offshore around 8-9 miles. Over our 8 hour charter we moved to several locations. If a spot got slow, pulled anchor and off to another. I didnt count total fish caught, but several dozen grunts, at least 15 grouper, a hog fish, some others im nor familiar with. We lost a couple big fish. Guessing they were goliaths.
I will absolutely go fish with him again. If youre looking fir a friendlt captain who keeps you on the fish this is the one.
My whole crew was extremely happy with excursion I was sick the whole trip so this review is for them. I’d recommend them very informative very nice and very caring.
We had an excellent time with Zack. He knew all the best spots to fish and made sure that we were successful. The day flew by and was a great time. Thanks!
We had a great time out on the water with Captain Jerry! He made sure we had ice, water, and plenty of bait. The weather kept us inland a little bit but he was flexible and moved to where the fish were. Our boys were very excited to catch two sharks, two pufferfish, a catfish, and several other types of fish, some of which we were able to keep for dinner. Thanks Captain Jerry!
Excellent day out on the boat with Capt. Charlie. We caught plenty of fish, threw some back in and had a good time. Capt. Charlie knew his fishing spots. Would definitely go again!!. Thank you Charlie.
Did a 8 hour trip with Captain Brad
