With our summertime pattern in place, anglers can continue to find great action! From 5-60Miles offshore the bite has been excellant for a variety of species. Wrecks and ledges in the 80-100 ft range are producing nice Mangrove Snapper up to 7lbs. My anglers have been downsizing tackle to produce more bites and a better fight. Live bait such as small shad, sardines, and pinfish will get the big Mangos going. Red Grouper continue to be consistent around 90ft deep. Dead bait (Sardines, Boston Mackeral) has been getting more action as of late. We’ve also been getting good action at the near shore reefs from 1-4 miles offshore. These shallow fish havens are fun for light tackle shark fishing, the average size has been from 50-100lbs. The temps. should continue to hover around 90 degrees through August, making it important to get out early and find shade under the T-Top as the day progresses. Thanks for reading-Capt. Brandon

Most of our trips lately have been nearshore,due to high winds and seas. The fishing has been good early in the morning or later in the evening, before the heat begins to slow the bite. Most nearshore trips are getting large Trout, Spanish Macks, Mangrove Snapper, Shark, Snook, and a few shots at Tarpon. As the water heats up, it will become increasingly important to get out early. On last week’s 2.5 hour kids trip we managed several nice fish including a Goliath Grouper, that was released unharmed. The wind is forcasted to be light the next few weeks, so now is a great time to get out for Grouper and Red Snapper. Thanks for reading-Capt. Brandon

The offshore fishing continues to be great. The wrecks from 90-120 feet of water have been producing large Black (Gag) Grouper, Amberjack, and Snapper. The Grouper bite has been good in the 45-55 foot range on natural hard bottom and ledges. Our 1/2 day trip from last weekend caught several Grouper in the 15-20lb range in 45 feet of water. With summertime approaching fast, now is a great time to get offshore and take advantage of the transitional weather. Red Snapper seasons opens soon, reserve your trip now to ensure the best fishing of the season. Thanks for reading-Capt. Brandon

The winds have been blowing lately, meaning more time to spend inshore fishing. The redfish action has been steady using live bait on area grass flats and aroung high tide oyster beds ( the usual spots).   Snook have been moving out to the passes and beaches to their summer hangouts. These fish are very picky and downsizing leaders will be the best bet. Several 1/2 day trips have been getting plenty of shots a day at these fish, with most ranging between 8-15lbs with some over 20lbs.  The winds are forecasted to remain steady around 15knots for the upcoming week, so it’s a great time to grab the light tackle and go inshore fishing.

The offshore fishing is nothing short of excellant right now. We had six trips this week out to 60 miles offshore. Each one produced large numbers of keeper grouper, cobia, amberjack, and mangrove snapper among others. The weather is great and looks to be holding for the next week. We should have some photos up from our last trip shortly, in the gallery. Thanks for reading- Capt. Brandon

 Large amounts of whitebait, threadfins and just about everything else has infiltrated the west central region. With the bait comes the predators, Kingfish, grouper,Blackfin Tuna, cobia -offshore and schools of reds -inshore. The Kingfish bite has been excellant on natural hardbottom around 30 feet deep. These fish are ranging between 8 and 20lbs and can be caught using live threadfins and small blue runners, either drifting or slow trolling. Several area captains have been slaying the redfish on area flats on an incoming tide, using whitebait. Find an area with a lot of mullet, patchy grass and sand bottom, and the reds aren’t too far behind. The grouper bite is on fire from 50-75 feet, mostly gag’s taken on live bait. The Blackfin Tuna are in 90-130 feet of water, anchor over your favorite wreck chum and put out the flatline, using floro leaders will help your hookup ratio, live sardines are the ticket. -Capt.
