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!

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!

The nearshore bite has been on fire and it's only going to get better. It's not as hot as summertime, and the seas are calm. Nearshore the spanish mackerel, king mackerels, big Reds, are in full swing.
Offshore the Famous Red Snapper on Friday through Mondays have been awesome. With cooler temps and calm seas we have been bringing in some big ones.
Inshore the redfish, and speckled trouts are biting pretty good.
So now is the time to book your trip, cooler temps, calm seas, big fish and no crouds.
