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.

Trout bite is awesome. Water temp in low low 80s. Alot of wind so we have to be selective on fishing area but the Trout are scattered around but still hungry. Finally have a good summer tide. As this wind lays over the next few days we should more areas to fish.
