The speckled trout bite has been pretty hot and the bull redfish are beginning to show up!

Bottom fishing has been great lately so have the trolling trips. When bottom fishing we have been getting big vermillion snapper, some red snapper, and red grouper. When trolling we have been getting Mahi Mahi, Little Tunnys, big Spanish Mackerel, and King Mackerel.

44 keeper Pompano yesterday!

The Pompano bite has been absolutely awesome this month, we are also catching some small sharks, some Spanish mackerel, some lady fish, and some hard tales in between. Plenty of action for everyone this time of year. Some trips we have a Rod bending at all times!

There's been a lot of speckled trout with a few good ones. This young man fought this 40 1/4 inch, 26 lbs Bull redfish for 30 minutes!
