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.

    We had an amazing time fishing with Captain Marvin!! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on the fish. This was a birthday present for our 15 year old son and we are so happy we booked with him. He truly knows these waters and was just an easy going, easy to talk to guy. Highly recommend booking with him—we'll definitely be back!
