The backcountry basins are still very good with plenty of action and species to capture on artificial lures. Captain Justin has been hiding from the high winds on the leeward side of the island doing some high action bottom fishing. The local wrecks and channels have been producing plenty of great tasting fish including mangrove snapper , yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper ,yellow jacks and a few groupers. Live pilchards and pinfish are still the bait of Choice for the highest odds of productivity. The forecast for the next few days looks promising with calm winds and 75 degree temperatures. Looking forward on what’s to come on this weeks fishing charters.

We had some fantastic weather this week with Light winds and calm seas. The trout fishing has been good in the basins on artificial lures. With a mix bag of pompano , jacks , lady fish and blacktip sharks. The bottom fishing continues to be great with plenty of action catching grouper, snappers, lots of jacks, barracuda and a few Cobia are starting to pop up. Right now the Cobia are with the sharks so it can be a struggled landing the larger sized fish before the sharks eat them. Bait of choice is still live pilchards that we have been cast netting everyday to start the morning.

We had a wonderful fishing trip with Bryan. He was very knowledgeable and helped us immensely since we had little to no experience offshore fishing. We could feel that he cared about us catching a fish and that he was trying to fulfill. In the end, we caught 3 fish - 2 rainbow runners and 1 mutton snapper and lost 3 fish. We are super happy.
