Here are a few pics from last couple of trips. Redfish bite is heating up. Seeing quite a few lower slot fish inshore and expect the upper slots to start moving in from the beach anytime. Sea mullet aka whiting bite is also really good. Seeing 75-100 plus fish most trips. Probably the best tasting fish inshore in my opinion.

Let's go! The fishing has been pretty good, and the weather is looking great for this week.
Offshore we have had large sargassum weed lines and the mahi have arrived! Early morning, and sunset have also produced some quality blackfin tuna.
The inshore bite has been on fire. Some really nice mutton snappers, mangrove, and yellowtails on the patch reefs and inside the islands. The AM and sunset tarpon bite has been pretty active. Lane snapper population is slowly fading as the water warms up.
On our Dry Tortugas trips we have been catching a ton of species. Last weeks day trip had a laundry list;
Mahi, tuna, mackerels, bonitos offshore. Then we got to the reef for muttons, yellowtails, and mangroves snappers. Once at the park, our guests walked the beach of Garden Key and caught and released some bonefish and tarpon. Also, hand feeding a 300lb Goliath grouper at the dock was a memorable experience.
