    This year has been an incredibly tough fishing year for red snapper. The water temps were what they typically are in August by the 1st of July. The marks are all there on the fishfinder. The fish got smarter, faster this year as their appetites were reduced by the temperature increase. We've also had more issues with sharks and dolphins eating our fish and bait off the hooks. We had to switch gears, work harder and try different methods to outsmart the fish. The deeper water fish were still biting well, but with the increase of fuel prices, going out 30 miles on a 6 hour trip was not a sustainable business practice. We finally decided to switch gears and go after vermilion snapper while targeting red snapper on the side. This has given our charters better experiences than before. We're still targeting red snapper until the end of the season but it's not our primary target. That takes the pressure off and makes fishing fun again.

Fishing report from Brandon S. in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

    Snapper season is starting to wind down but there are still some fish out there if you are willing to move around a bit. Inshore the Jack crevalles are name of the game this time of year. They will pop up around the bay and you better be ready with a swim bait or topwater plug to get after them. The heat has the redfish and trout bite slowed tremendously but some good fish can still be caught early morning or late evening.

Fishing report from Dave W. in Wilmington, North Carolina Book a trip with Captain Dave here.

    The last couple weeks the wind has kept some from getting out and fishing but when the weather has cooperated fishing had been producing some nice fish. Trolling for Pelagic's has been spotty and when you do find them numbers have been down compared to previous seasons. Bottom fishing when you find your spot has been extremely good producing keeper gag grouper and for some reason lots of cobia. Almost every bottom trip produces keeper size cobia. Many of us agree that our cooler than usual spring that went straight to intense summer heat may have derailed some of the usual migration of certain species. That being said last few days those missing fishing are starting to show.

Fishing report from Henry R. in South Padre Island, Texas

    Offshore fishing during federal red snapper season, anglers forget about state red snapper reefs and they are really producing now since everyone focus on federal waters. This was today's catch

    The snapper bite has been a little off kilter this season. However, if you put in the work there are still some monsters swimming around out there. The vermillion bite is still very solid. However, if you can get them to the boat before the dolphins snatch them off your line your doing good. The deep troll offshore from the edge outward has really been on fire lately. A lot of great catches being reported of Mahi, Wahoo, and some monster Cobia.
