Not to mention the sharks, plenty of action to those wanting to target sharks and many times even those anglers that don't want sharks. On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers,...

Not to mention the sharks, plenty of action to those wanting to target sharks and many times even those anglers that don't want sharks. On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers, trigger fish, vermilion snappers and a few sea bass plus all the other typical species. There's still a stray Cobia or two most days and a few mahi too.
Speckled Trout, Striped Bass and some Redfish. Bluefish have started showing up at Cape and around the inlets. Atlantic Bonito should show up at the ARs anytime now.
