The fishing is great, but it is difficult when waters are hot for certain fish. Definitely recommend getting out there and trying regardless!

For offshore and bad weather, the bigger the boat, the better. More money but a small boat may cancel the whole trip.

If given the option to troll of reef fish first, I would opt to reef fish as it may not be as hot during the morning hours as the boat is likely anchored whereas trolling in the afternoon offers a welcomed breeze during those hotter hours.

The half-day reef fishing was a good opportunity to check out the weather, the fishing, and the captain, anticipating the possibility of a follow-on trip. Johnny Maddox Charters was excellent.

A local captain is a must. Fish here are not like the Gulf. Fish are picky and the captain must have multiple techniques to catch them.

April and May is the best fishing typically. But, if you have the right captain you can usually get on some fish anytime of the year.
