Trolling is at 50/50 right now but bottom fishing is really good if you can get through the triggerfish! The FWC is going to have to make a no limit on them as they are taking over Reefs and Wrecks, we usually catch around 100 triggerfish with maybe 2 or 3 keepers on a good day! The red snapper are big this year and it should be a good season.

Also, the speckled trout bite has been good and should continue through most of next month.

Speckled trout, blue fish, and Spanish mackerel are beginning to move in... another fun fish on light tackle

The trout bite is on! We are getting limits of trout the last few days. Good weather and good tides plus warm water have the trout bite at its peak! Using live or artificial baits, it really good.
