Sorry for the lapse!!!

Sorry it has taken me a while to post some new updates. Business has been pretty good and the fish are still biting pretty well. We have recently had catches up to 30 "Keeper" Grouper of the last several weeks on our All Day trip. The half day has been doing some drifting and catching plenty of grunts with a few grouper mixed in. Our last 14 Hour trip on June 6 was excellent. We had 60 Red Snapper, 30 Grouper and 36 Mangrove Snapper. We had a private 34 Hour Trip on June 25-26 and we brought in over 2,000 lbs of fish. We had our limit of Red Snapper (120), 80 Grouper(up to 20lbs) and over 300 Mangrove Snapper (up to 8lbs). We have our next open 34 Hour Trip scheduled for July 17-18 and a 14 Hour Trip on July 11. We are currently taking reservations for both of these trips. Luckily, as of now, the OIL SPILL is staying well away from us. The closest closure,as of today, is approximately 90 miles away. We are still watching closely and will relay any news to all of you as we receive it. Thanks for checking out the blog and keeping me on my toes!!!

June Updates

Our 14 Hour Trip on June 6th went very well. It was the first trip of the 2010 Red Snapper Season and the trip was a success. We landed 60 Red Snapper, 29 Grouper and 26 large Mangrove Snapper. Again we had approximately 24 Amberjack that were all about an inch short. They did, however, make for some excitement. The next 14 Hour is scheduled for July 11th and we are currently taking reservations for that trip. The 34 Hour Trip scheduled for June 12-13 has been cancelled due to lack of paid fares. This is unfortunate because the fishing has been outstanding. We have another that is tentatively scheduled for July 17-18. Hopefully we will have enough interest to run that trip. The OIL SPILL is a daily concern and we are watching it closely. As I have stated several time earlier, the spill is not affecting us at this time. We are still operating on a business as usual schedule, so LET'S GO FISHING!! Hope to see you soon.
