Mahi, Vermillion Snapper & Trollers
September 25, 2026
September Fall Fishing Report: We are still picking some Mahi when conditions are good. Red Snapper and Grouper bite has been slow all month. We are catching them regularly but most have been just under legal size to keep. Vermillion Snapper, triggerfish, lane snapper, Amberjack, have been plentiful this month and on trolling trips we are picking up mostly Spanish Mackerel still along with some Bonita, occasional Kings, and occasional Mahi.

Spring Fishing is on fire!

The Spring bite is here and its been awesome with a huge variety. Lots of Spanish Mackerel have moved into the bay making for great opportunities on the shorter trios or when the weather isnt cooperating. Nearshore we are getting King Mackerel, Bonita, and Spanish while trolling and bottom fishing we are seeing a lot of Snapper and Grouper, we’ve even caught a few very large Redfish nearshore in the Gulf. The Mahi have also started coming in and we’ve had the opportunity to pick up some very nice sized early season Mahi. Its going to be a great season this year.
