Trip Summary

Overall this June has been a great month for fishing but has presented some serious challenges with weather. Unseasonable wind, rain and lightning have put charters into a day by day scenario. But the end Is near on our crazy low pressure system, next week presents some awesome looking winds with lower chance for storms and likely subscribing to the afternoon only. Now let's talk fishin'. Our normal summer King Mackerel fishery has been hit or miss and it seems live bait is getting tougher and tougher. I do suspect when the bait returns we will have some great days with bent rods and tight lines. But until then I have been having a blast with up to 4 people bottom fishing on 6+ hour trips. Typical species coming over the rail have been Amberjacks, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper (closed to harvest) Vermillion snappers, Triggerfish, Porgies and many more. If a longer trip isn't in the cards let's hit some rod bending action and not worry about take home. Plenty of Red snappers with a lucky shot at a grouper. Otherwise nearshore shrimp boats have been creating some awesome shark fishing opportunities if you're up for a challenge!
