Hey Fishing Booker family been busy fishing everyday hard to keep up with reports. Mahi mahi are offshore we recommend 6 to 8hrs to give us time to find the fish constantly moving 10- 15miles offshore. Couple nice fish on the bottom using dead baits to target snappers grouper amberjacks and tilefish. Ballyhoos are starting to shower on the reef so should be some summertime sailfish around to target as well. Catching live baits and slow trolling has produced well when the troll bite is slow. Boat has bathroom and cold AC cabin plenty of room for friends and family!!! Hope to see you soon tight lines

Hey Fishing booker family the fishing has been pretty consistent lots of Kings and bonita on the reef with some tuna wahoo and sailfish out deeper. Mahi mahi have been 10-15 miles offshore so 6 to 8 hour charters are recommended this time of year for the mahi mahi. We are only 10min ride from the fishing grounds so that means extra time to fish give us a shout lets get you on the fish!!! Boat has cold AC, bathroom and cabin onboard available. Lots of room for family and friends.

Some nicer size wahoo around right now trolling planers from 200-300ft has been most effective way to target wahoo tuna mahi sailfish and kingfish. Some live baits on the wrecks for bigger size fish has also been productive. We been so busy fishing everyday its hard to keep up with the fishing reports everyday stay posted for more pics and videos on our social media accounts facebook & instagram Soflosportfishing!! **hidden content**
