The redfish bite is hot. 29", 33" and 26. Water temps are rising, 69-71 today, the fish are hungry. Today was catch and release as per my Fisherman. The bite should be good through May, depending on the weather.

Had to brag about the largest squirrel fish I've ever seen. Lol. Lots of red grouper, triggers caught had a few nice b liners they wanted to keep.

We had a great 4hr trip with Capt Max. Was a first time for my wife and daughter and they both were able to catch a lot of fish. We caught so many different types of fish and able to keep some grouper and trigger fish. Max is a friendly captain and we would definitely go out with him again.
