Trolling has still been tough but there has been a decent bite on live bait even when the fishing is slow you can usually find a few to eat a live bait.

Today couldn't have gone much better we started out with a barracuda on our first drop then on the second drop a sailfish hit the bottom bait and took off on a wild run! After about a 30min fight we landed it took a quick picture and safely released it. Then we went for some meat and got an easy limit of snapper out deep. With the last 20 min we got lucky and landed and released two big grouper off the reef. What a day!

There are schools of african pompano around alot of the shallow wrecks and they are eating live baits on the bottom and in the water column. Some amberjacks are on those same wrecks as well as mutton snapper. The deep snapper bite has been great and we usually end the trip throwing a few of them in the cooler. We also lost a sailfish right near the boat on a morning trip this weekend.

We had an amazing bottom bite and got 5 mutton snapper, 2 African pompano, and ended the trip with a 20min sailfish fight! Sometimes you gotta get lucky!

When the conditions are right the snapper bite has been automatic with quick bites on the bottom. While live bait fishing the wrecks we have been getting nice mutton snapper, African Pompano, and amberjack.

Barracudas, jacks, snapper, and snook all being caught this week!
