Speckled trout have shown up in big numbers. Did some catch and release Red Snapper last week. Biggest 2 ever caught on the boat and it was back to back. The biggest one was 22 lbs. The other one was 18 lbs. Not bad for 35' of water.

This is from dec but they are just starting to show back up with the blackfin tuna in close.
8 over 100# were caught on the piers (Pcola & Navarre )
And 3 by boat,
Hooked ours around 7am , fought for a hr 15 min , at the end the angler just felt " dead weight " , we thought maybe it got 🦈 sharked, but it actually had a heart attack and was dead as a door nail!!!!
150# on a certified ifga scale, hooked it in 35ft , landed in 40ft. Crazy stuff!

Captain TY and Captain Chilli were really amazing. Just a really good time and they are great people to be around. Our group ended up catching 62 fish thanks to Captain Ty and Captain Chilli. If you’re looking for a great charter I would highly recommend these guys.

My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.
