The spot tailed pinfish I caught was world record beating the world record from South Carolina by quite a few ounces. It was taken off the record books 4.5 months prior to me catching it:(

Fishing the bay for giant sheep head is now on! Fast action white trout especially for the kids is doing very well this winter too. Some pompano and Spanish mackerel are being caught fishing for white trout. Gulf fishing for flounder and fast fun light tackle reef fish like speckled rock hind, scamp grouper, and vermillion snapper on calm seas days is "the easy button". Red grouper is now open and there's good ones to be kept especially on a five or six hour trip getting down the beach on some good natural rock bottom reefs.

Snapper bite was phenomenal for last week of December. Now it's mingo snappers, red groupers, scamp groupers, and flounders. Fishing has been great!

Bottom fishing has been active with plenty of vermillion, mangrove, red, and lane snapper being caught. Aj's are fired up too which makes bottom fishing all the more fun! Sharks seem to always be an option for adventurous angles too!

Fishing is very good right now! Chilly, but worth it. Red snappers are open until December 31st, triggers are the same! Plenty of mingos and flounders just starting to show up with the cold

    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.
