Bunces Pass Fishing Reports (July 2026)

Seminole, Florida

Reported 3 years ago

Been catching snapper and Key west grunts and taking the smaller ones and going out to the reef and as of late. We’ve been catching monsters snook out on the Reef! All my clients think they need to book a full day trip but we can usually get all the fishing you’d like done in 4 hours with how hot it’s been!

In the bay we’re catching mangrove snapper and grouper. We’ve been using a #2 circle hook with 14 pound leader for the snapper and 30 pound leader for the grouper. Cut bait on the hook and free line back with the chum. On the flats, we’re using live and dead thread ins and greenbacks to catch bull redfish and snook. Mostly smaller snook in the flats. Dead Bait is working just as good as live bait. Bite has been good on the snook as well.
