Long Awaited Update

Hey everyone, sorry for my laziness and lack of commenting on our blog. I will try to keep up better than I have been. Fishing has been pretty good as of late. Lots of Grunts, Sea Bass and Porgies on both the half and all day trips. We are catching plenty of nice Gag and Red Grouper, but unfortunately, they are out of season at this time. Red Grouper open for harvest on April 1, can't wait. Gags will open on July 1 and hopefully run till the middle of November this year. We are awaiting final word from the Gulf Council and NOAA. I am waiting for final decision for the 2013 Red Snapper season before trying to schedule any 14 hour trips. Stay tuned, as soon as I hear of the exact dates, I will try to schedule a trip or two. Looking like possibly a 27 day season.

We are excited about an upcoming project. The Double Eagle lll will be getting new eco-friendly engines at the end of the summer. We will have her in drydock for approximately 8-10 weeks, starting in August, while we complete this project. Stay tuned for altered trip schedules for that time period.

The weather is starting to warm, Spring Break is in full swing and the weather the last few days has been awesome. Come on down and go fishing. Remember, this time of year, the traffic can be terrible at times. Leave yourself plenty of travel time, especially for the afternoon trips. Don't forget to call at least a few days in advance to reserve your spots. Our ticket office is open until 8pm daily for any further questions or reservations.

Happy Easter....Happy Spring.....See you all soon!!!!!!!
