Trip Summary
The red grouper have been on fire. We've been catching a lot of large, meaty reds on our 6- and 8-hour trips. The lane and vermilion snappers have been very active closer in, with the occasional mangrove snapper, but it seems like the mangroves aren't in full swing yet. Although there are plenty of catch-and-release amberjacks, I've noticed an above average catch of almaco jacks, which are the smaller cousin of the amberjack, and don't go out of season.
