March 1st brought the opening of Grey Triggerfish in the Gulf of Mexico, adding another species to target while bottom fishing. We are also catching Vermilion and White Snappers as well, all good tasty fish to tey for this time of the year!

The trolling bite inshore was slow, same for everyone I spoke with. We caught a nice Spanish Mackerel trolling, and a second one was eaten by a dolphin right behind the boat so we headed offshore to bottom fish. The Vermilion Snappers were a nice grade and we also caught some White Snappers as well. Of course we caught a bunch of Ruby Lips and a few Triggerfish as usual, but we also caught a nice King Mackerel and a Bonito fly-lining while bottom fishing! All in all a great trip!

Anglers fishing last week aboard the Double Time had their arms stretched as we got in to some nice Amberjacks! Locally also known as "Reef Donkeys" for their ultra-strong pull, even the throwback size ones are a great fight. We can target these superb fighters on the longer trips such as 6 hours of more when the weather allows us to get offshore. You won't forget the fight, and thanks Jordan!

Eric and crew came out on Wednesday and we captured a imit of tasty Triggerfish and some nice White Snappers as well. Weather was beautiful but a bit foggy in the early morning. A 5 hour or 6 hour charter is perfect this time of the year! Thanks again guys!!!

The Red Snapper season is upon us and the bite has been great overall! Red Snappers are now open in both State and Federal waters, and there seems to be a lot around for the catching. We have also been catching some Mangrove Snappers, Scamps (a small grouper), King Mackerels and we have even caught some Cobia as well!

The Sheepshead didn't bite with a neap tide so we trolled for Spanish Mackerel in the pass and were very successful, even losing several off the hook! Near the end of the trip we went farther into the Gulf and tried bottom fishing. We caught Red Snapper which we released as they are not open to keep...YET. We also caught some Triggerfish, and other bottom dwellers while reef fishing as well. Naturally, the young lady caught the largest and most fish all day!
