Trip Summary

The hogfish bite is still steady and keeping rods bent! ? We’ve been seeing consistent action on our nearshore spots, with some quality fish coming over the rail. The water temps are starting to warm up, and that means the grouper bite should really start turning on soon. ? Our recent 6-hour and 8-hour trips have already been producing a few keeper grouper along with solid hogfish catches. Spring is right around the corner and things are shaping up nicely out there. If you’ve been thinking about getting on the water, now’s a great time to lock in a trip!
