In spite of cold weather and most species having closed seasons, the Red Snapper and Triggerfish bites have been great. Red Grouper and Vermillion Snapper for the cooler and an Amberjack or two for a nice big fish to catch and release

    We had a great time and caught what we were after, red fish. Even got two keepers! David is a good captain because he didn’t waste time in spots he knew would not get any fish. Kept us on the move and eventually to the spots the fish were at.
