The pictures are from several trips over the past month or so. Since the heat of the summer has kicked in we have been spending the majority of our time fishing the offshore reefs.

I have been slacking in the report department, so I figure I'll lump about a months worth of trip pictures all at once. Most of all the trips I have been running have been inlet/nearshore except for a couple of half day inshore excursions. I would be lying if I said every trip was a home run, the fishing has been everything from great to terrible.

Fought through tough conditions but the target species were acquired. Slot snook, slot red, over slot red, goliaths, red grouper, jacks, and a big snapper.

Bob and Joe wanted groceries. Fished outside for a couple hours until the bite turned off then finished the day inside. Several sheepshead, short red , trout, and several other reef species.

Sky was on fire this morning. Had a decent bite today while out fun fishing and scouting. Collectively I'd say we had 20 trout into the low 20", 2 rat reds, and a couple snook. DOA CAL shad tails were the top producers today by a long shot. Going to blow like heck for the next couple of days. Probably won't be out again until Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Had a good afternoon with Steve and Jeff from Michigan. These guys are avid bass fisherman and were probably the best casters I have ever had on the boat. Watching them precisely pick apart the mangroves and docks was impressive. They managed to pick up 3 upper slot reds, several juvenile snook, and some sheepshead.
