A couple 6-hour trips for the last few days it's been full moon fishing so we've had to work for all of our fish but we still made some decent catches

Bottom fishing has been great lately so have the trolling trips. When bottom fishing we have been getting big vermillion snapper, some red snapper, and red grouper. When trolling we have been getting Mahi Mahi, Little Tunnys, big Spanish Mackerel, and King Mackerel.

44 keeper Pompano yesterday!

The Pompano bite has been absolutely awesome this month, we are also catching some small sharks, some Spanish mackerel, some lady fish, and some hard tales in between. Plenty of action for everyone this time of year. Some trips we have a Rod bending at all times!

Snapper season is well underway and anglers have been bringing in some really Big Red snapper. There has been lots of red grooper and vermilion snapper, along with a few lane and mangrove. Snappers mixed in. The tarpon and red fish are cruising. The beaches and anglers have been catching quite a few of them. Also, the weather has finally straightened out. Looking good for the weekend coming up.

    Brought my kids on the trip. Craig and crew were very accommodating and assisted family so I could also catch fish. Very friendly and highly recommend if bringing a family with mixed age group. Caught many snapper and get a few larger fish, grouper, Bonita, amber jack. I will be looking up Craig for my next fishing trip in Destin.

    Trip: Fishing The Florida Panhandle

    Kyle and Ben were great. We booked a full day and started at 5:30 catching out bait fish on the way out. My daughter and I quickly started getting motion sickness. My son and husband held on for a bit and were able to get a few catches in before they also felt the sea sickness. We headed back early. Ben and Kyle handled everything great and tried to still make it the best trip possible for us. Thanks guys! And sorry we weren’t more fun!
