This month has been great for the near shore(inside 9 miles) fishing. There has been plenty of action with Mangrove Snapper,Grunt,Triggerfish and the occasional hog fish that crash the party. The weather is super hot and the fish seem to be fired up. Black Sea Bass are an occasional catch along with Lane and Yellowtail Snapper. The last two seem to be found in 40 feet or more. Cobia are always a possibility on some of the nearshore reefs and wrecks. We have had great success with light chumming and a flat line out while we bottom fish. You never know what may show up. Book a trip soon so you don't miss all the action.

The weather has been up and down, but I've been able to move the trips to better days. There is not much open to keep in the gulf ,so I have been doing well inshore. We mostly caught mangrove snapper, and a few other species.

Fishing is always more difficult with the weather in the winter, so if you’re looking for a constant bite we recommend spring but with that being said the tuna bite is really good so to each their own! We fish year round Trolling- plenty of Bonita around, blackfin Tuna are close in right now between 5-15 miles of the pass! Mahi can be found further offshore on weedlines! King mackerel are a hard bite this time of year but can be found near shore Bottom Fishing- Vermillions are in abundance right now and have some decent size to them too, triggerfish are on structure but finding a keeper may be another task! Plenty of perch and Ruby lips running around so if a fish fry is what you’re after then that will be too easy to get! Grouper bite is good right now as well as Almaco Jacks Capt Jon

Water has cooled off a bit and the bite has fired up. A lot of slot and over-slot Redfish up to 40". Trout bite is also getting into full swing. Grouper bite has been good for the last week. Limit of quality fish hitting the deck.

09/01/2022 Amberjack, Grunt, False Albacore

Late summer/early fall fishing is starting to heat up. Getting a weather window to make the trip out has been a challenge. However, when able to get offshore, we are catching a variety of species with the second half of trigger fish season open and now Amberjack opening back, I expect a lot of great offshore catches over the next few weeks. Deep drop fishing for vermillion snapper, porgies, and various grouper species has been on fire. For those who like our top water action, the waters have been boiling with skipjacks and Mahi. Now is the time to get out there and catch them up before they move out to their winter waters.
