Offshore there has been lots of mahi caught on anything we can find floating, bamboo, coolers, weed lines, etc. a few tuna have been caught. Inshore is the usual suspects. Snapper, jacks, sharks, and cudas. The big 18"+ mangrove snapper have returned from the spawn at the reef and are back the shallows and hungry!

Grouper season just started which is a nice bonus as well be fishing for yellowtail snapper, both are amazing table fare. If your interested in offshore fishing mahi and start to really be plentiful on the weed lines and floating debris with the bonus wahoo or sailfish. Also this month is the start of snapper spawning and mutton snapper, mangrove snapper and yellowtail snapper will be aggregating to spawn on the reefs and bring a lot of action aggressively biting. Options and endless come make some memories this summer!

Even with the high winds, we have managed to find decently calm water holding lots of fish. Inshore and patch reefs are full of big lane snappers, yellowtails, mangroves, and, of course, the out-of-season groupers. Offshore is a little funny this year. The tuna have shown up, and the mahi seem like they are going to stick around this winter. Some days have been a bit slow in the deep blue water, so trolling the reef has provided us with plenty of mackerel action.

    Sean was a guide who puts anglers safety at the forefront of everything which all anglers should appreciate. Unfortunately one of our two days was blown out due to weather. He persevered trying to put us on fish until the weather became too unstable. He has 30+ years of guiding experience in the area. Enjoyed our time with Sean.

    We had an amazing lobstering trip with Captain Paulie! He made the whole experience really fun and was also very informative throughout the trip. We checked a couple different spots and ended up getting plenty of lobster, which made it even better. He even cleaned everything for us afterward. Such a great experience from start to finish, and we would definitely recommend him!

    We had such a great fishing trip with Captain Forrest! We tried a couple different spots, and the fish were biting a lot, so there was plenty of action. We even got to see a barracuda, which was really cool. Captain Forrest made the whole trip fun and enjoyable, and we had a great time out on the water. Definitely a good trip and would recommend!
