Bottom fishing has been active with plenty of vermillion, mangrove, red, and lane snapper being caught. Aj's are fired up too which makes bottom fishing all the more fun! Sharks seem to always be an option for adventurous angles too!

Fishing is very good right now! Chilly, but worth it. Red snappers are open until December 31st, triggers are the same! Plenty of mingos and flounders just starting to show up with the cold

The youngest guy in the picture of three was 81 years old. I hope I'm as blessed as they are to still be able to do what I love to do at their age.
