Todays 8hr Offshore started out rough. We eased back and stayed shallow.. when the weather broke, we ran deeper and got some nice Red Grouper and made it back to the dock before it even rained a drop on us!. Perfect timing. Red Grouper and Lane Snapper on the board!

This report is for Sunday October 8th! Finally, our first cold front made it down to SWFL!. Woke op to upper 60's and saw upper 70's for our high today.. These fronts can really get the fish fired up. Todays trip was a "6hr Big Game". With our goal being to catch some Goliath Grouper, we started our day by catching some bait. Ill let the pictures tell the rest of the story. ??

VERY ACTIVE FISH BITE!!
VERY ACTIVE FISH BITE!!
Jan 22, 2018 Placida
This Report is for Monday Jan 22nd. Calm seas at 2' or less and a light wind out of the South East made our day of CATCHING that much better!. The bite was very active with Red Grouper, Lane Snapper, Porgy, and plenty of nice size Key West Grunt!. Water temps are a bit lower than last week. We saw 57-60deg on the surface. Doesn't get much colder than they here. Should start seeing more Sheepshead Porgy on our nearshore wrecks and reefs in the next 2-3weeks as they move out from our inland structure.. plenty of good eating fish and plenty of good action!. Let's go!
