The bottom fishing bite is some of the best. It's been all year.
We're getting red grouper, red snapper, and gag grouper, and even some very large mangrove snappers.
If you can find sardines, live cigar minnows, and live threadfin. Those are going to give you better-quality fish.
For gay groupers, it's hard to beat whole, one-pound-plus grunts, whole mulletheads, and large butterflied blue runners.
We're using eighty pound liter and eight or nine odd hooks, with the least amount of lead to get to the bottom.
Usually knocker rigs or Captain Chappy's hogballs. I put my own hooks on...

The bottom fishing bite is very good. Most trips, we're getting are limit of red groupers, a handful of red snapper. and plentiful Gag grouper action. On days where the current is slow, live bates work well.

Tarpon fishing is firing up!! Following the full moon the migration is in full swing and there are poons everywhere! Grab your fly rod and let's get after them!

The red grouper bite is off the chain. You can get some anywhere from forty feet out to as deep as you want to go. The red snapper have been hidden. Most of the bigger keepers are in deep water one hundred to one hundred and forty feet deep. Down bigger baits equal bigger fish. The usual cut beats whether ladyfish or mullet, or bunker whichever you'd like to call them. Are working great!
Save your live beats for areas where there are good fish and remember everything eats squid!

Look for bait stacks.
The usual frozen baits are the best thing to start with.
The when the bite starts to slow switch to live baits. Pinfish are working.
But live sardines and live cigar, minnows are working the best..

My and my 2 boys had a great time with Brock. He was an absolute delight! He knows the area and when to literally cut bait. We caught enough to feed 17 and still had time to go for the big ones! I would highly recommend Brock! Great Guy!!
I will say I have gone on mini guided fishing trips and Brock was by far the nicest most accommodating boat captain I have ever met. Walking on with three small kids under the age of 10 you never know how the captains will react. Brock was an absolute pleasure with the kids never did I since frustration or him being annoyed at all. My 10 year-old caught a 29 inch and a 28 inch red. What an experience would highly recommend Brock.
Captain Greg was awesome. Caught a bunch of trout and a few others. Would definitely come and see him again. Great attitude and cracked us up several times. Lmao. Come and see Captain G!!!
We went on the 4 hour in-shore trip with Brock and had a wonderful time! We had 3 kids with us and he was so patient with them. The kids loved it as well and caught all the fish! We will definitely use him again and have referred him to our family as well. Thank you, Brock!
Greg knows his stuff! He took us around a few areas where we caught a variety of whiting, trout, flounder, and catfish. We left with enough fish to feed our group three times over. Greg was great about handling bait as well. His one-liners weren’t too shabby either.
