Recent 6 hour trips. The Gags were released unharmed. We still have a really good vermillion snapper bite. Still some triggers around lots of red snapper catch and released. Spanish mackerel are biting early in the mornings.

Spanish Mackerel have shown up in pretty good numbers inshore and Vermillion snapper are plentiful on 6 hour trips. Cobia are due any day now. There have been some 40lb Kingfish around as well but not so plentiful as to go and target them. There have been some reports that trout and redfish are biting in the bay.

    We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Darrell and his deck hand Jon. We caught a good amount of fish. We will definitely be coming back and going on another trip.
