sLast few weeks have been hot. Lots of Spanish Mackerel still running. We won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for a sweep in the inshore competition last weekend. Seeing Mahi starting to come in, some big grouper, big red snapper, a couple big redfish caught offshore of all places. All in all the fishing is great right now.
