The bottom fishing bite is some of the best. It's been all year.
We're getting red grouper, red snapper, and gag grouper, and even some very large mangrove snappers.
If you can find sardines, live cigar minnows, and live threadfin. Those are going to give you better-quality fish.
For gay groupers, it's hard to beat whole, one-pound-plus grunts, whole mulletheads, and large butterflied blue runners.
We're using eighty pound liter and eight or nine odd hooks, with the least amount of lead to get to the bottom.
Usually knocker rigs or Captain Chappy's hogballs. I put my own hooks on...

The bottom fishing bite is very good. Most trips, we're getting are limit of red groupers, a handful of red snapper. and plentiful Gag grouper action. On days where the current is slow, live bates work well.

Tarpon fishing is firing up!! Following the full moon the migration is in full swing and there are poons everywhere! Grab your fly rod and let's get after them!

The red grouper bite is off the chain. You can get some anywhere from forty feet out to as deep as you want to go. The red snapper have been hidden. Most of the bigger keepers are in deep water one hundred to one hundred and forty feet deep. Down bigger baits equal bigger fish. The usual cut beats whether ladyfish or mullet, or bunker whichever you'd like to call them. Are working great!
Save your live beats for areas where there are good fish and remember everything eats squid!

Look for bait stacks.
The usual frozen baits are the best thing to start with.
The when the bite starts to slow switch to live baits. Pinfish are working.
But live sardines and live cigar, minnows are working the best..
