Tuna just now showing up, but it's still hard to predict, same as sails and dorado, we focus on the amberjack, and other target species that are still in season, such as swordfish, and Mangrove, vermillion snapper, always hope for the fish of a lifetime! Looking to book for some overnight trips for yellowfin and marlin 100+ miles offshore.

The winds are not the problem, it is the salinity in the water that is causing it to be difficult to find fish, salinity is 3 x's what it should be due to the lack of fresh water.

Great Snapper Season and we've been getting lots of smaller Dolphin (Mahi Mahi). Kingfish are slow but those being caught have been smokers

    Captain Corey was our hero and saved the day. So glad our first captain was a no show. We had the experience of a lifetime . Despite the wind conditions he was determined for us to catch some fish. We will definitely use Captain Corey for our next Charter.
