Trip Summary

Our party boat fishing trips are catching a lot of snappers lately, especially on the night trips. Mangroves, yellowtails and mutton snappers are all biting pretty good out there. We're getting the biggest and the most snappers on our night anchor trips, where we chum the water to draw the fish to the boat. May and June are always good months for the snapper bite. Some groupers are being caught too. Not in the same numbers as the snapper are biting, but a few groupers are hitting the deck now and again. Plenty of other species such as grunts, porgies, triggerfish, jacks and more are part of the catch too, but the snappers have been king this month. Good luck to everyone fishing on our trips out there this week. I'll sea ya on the water. Capt. Andy Roydhouse
