Been a great week on the water! Morning bite is definitely where it's at, get out early beat the Heat has been the best bet. Peacocks have been super aggressive first thing in the morning and almost each trip has had a few clowns mixed in along the way.

The bite has been consistent. The mornings have produced some big Kingfish early and some monster Amberjacks mid day. Barracudas are everywhere right now. On the bottom, there have been some really big Mutton Snapper, nice Mangrove Snapper in a little shallower. An occasional Sailfish or two have been showing up late afternoon. The Mahi are way out deep, about 10 miles offshore with some small schools of big Blackfin Tuna. The Sharks were gone for the last 10 days but are now back, hanging out around the deeper shipwrecks. We caught two huge Black Groupers a few days ago and pulled the hook on several smaller ones.

June The summer bite is on fire! Offshore trips are producing solid numbers of mahi, with blackfin tuna and grouper also in the mix. Snapper action remains strong on the reefs. Inshore, tarpon are still active during summer nights, and we’re seeing good bites from trout, snook, and the occasional jack. Both offshore and inshore trips are producing great action—now’s a prime time to get on the water!

Sailfish and mahi-mahi have been showing up consistently; live baiting and trolling have been working very effectively; no need to head too far offshore. All these fish are on the reef or no further than the 50 line. Use fresh baits. Book a three-quarter day trip to give your crew...

Sailfish and mahi-mahi have been showing up consistently; live baiting and trolling have been working very effectively; no need to head too far offshore. All these fish are on the reef or no further than the 50 line. Use fresh baits. Book a three-quarter day trip to give your crew enough time to put you on a fish of a lifetime. Springtime is here, big smoker. Kingfish should be showing up soon, and don't forget, folks, summer is here.
