August Update

Hi everyone. We have hit our summertime fishing pattern, with hot weather and calm seas for the last several weeks. Fishing has remained decent though. We have been drifting on the half day trips and having great catches of Grunts, Sea Bass, Porgies and several undersize Grouper. We have had some trips with legal sized Grouper, the best trip being 10 keepers. The all day has been having catches consisting of Grunts, Sea Bass, Porgies, Mangrove Snapper and Grouper. We have also been surprised by some nice catches of Hogfish. These tasty fish are generally a target of spearfisherman due to the tough time catching them with a hook and line. Our catches of Hogfish have been up in the 8-10 fish range on some trips. We will start to dry dock our boats the first week of September and this will go for 3-6 weeks. Please keep an eye on our blog and call our ticket office for trip schedules and reservations. We will be running half day trips on Sun, Mon and Tues. All day trips will be Wed, Thur, Fri and Sat. Always call ahead for a reservation. Stat cool and see you soon!!

August Update

We have began are pattern of normal summertime fishing. The half day trips are coming in with good numbers of grunts or as we call them, " Grey Snapper". They are a pan sized fish that are excellent eating. We have also been catching several grouper with a few being "Keepers". With high water temps and light winds, we have been having better luck drifting on this trip. Our all day is catching the same types of fish with a few more "Keepers" coming aboard. We have been spliting up the fishing on this trip, depending on the weather conditions. Some days have been very slow and we have been doing better on a drift. All in all the fishing is still productive this time of year, it can just be very hot. Come down and see us and bring plenty of cold drinking water. See you soon!!
