Trip Summary

Seems like this year both the inshore and offshore fishing has been really good .Inshore we’ve seen quite a few large trout and slot reds .Offshore the red grouper bite has been on fire with 4-6 keepers on the half day and limits on the full day. Red snapper season this year starts May 22nd and from what I’ve seen the last month it should beva good one.
