Fishing had been hot up to that hurricane we to west of us. We had a ton of rain and rough seas which really dirtied up the Gulf and bite was pretty tough. Last two days seem to be trending in our favor. Been booking and running trips everyday and into November. Snappers open Fri Sat Sun thru Thanksgiving. I've got the big Sows located and they are hungry!!

Oddly enough, the best fishing here is when most of the tourists are not!

The bite was pretty good with vermilion snapper. Red snapper opened back up on the weekends and has been spotty. We caught my first small sailfish a few weeks ago.

It's been rough this week but I've been shuffling trips and running what I can. Bookings are slowing down this month after a fire June/July. Fishing is great mahis have been all over had a sailfish hooked 2 weeks ago up in close 1/2 mile off beach and have heard of quite of few being caught. Sept 1 - 15 gag groupers will be open so those weekend days red snappers and Gags are open at same time. Recipe for banner trips

The wind is stIll howling. My crew from Chicago caught a bunch of speckled trout. Only got a couple keepers in the boat and lost a couple really nice ones. It looks like the Trout bite is coming in now. The water temp is up to 70 so the fish are getting more active.

The Bulls reds are tearing it up, literally! Broken lines, straitened hooks and a broken pole but still managed to get these three in the boat.

    We had 6 of us that did a 4 hr charter w/Captain Marvin on July 7th, only one of us knew how to fish and we all end up catching up plenty of fish. Captain Marvin was very patient with us, baited and casted all our rods. He was a great guide and we would use him again in the future
