Lots of action inshore today, catching several big Snappers, Jacks, Amberjacks, Mackeral and a few small Yellowfin Tuna.
They actually released 4 nice Cubera Snappers alive, rather than kill them.
The sailfish bite has slowed a bit from January’s great run but still plenty of action. Released 4 for 9 or 10 on Sails. And caught a couple Mahi Mahi for dinner.
Another inshore day for a group today, looking for some meat and variety. They caught several Snappers and Groupers from 3 to 20 pounds out in about 300ft of water. They also released a nice Cubera Snapper, and a few big AJ’S.
Roosterfishing has fired off the past few days with the arrival of Sardines along the beach. Meanwhile, the water has gotten a little green offshore and the Sailfish bite has slowed a bit. Still getting those double digit days, but not seeing as many fish as we were a week ago. Fortunately, the bottom fish are biting again with a good day on the groupers today.
One of today’s crews caught 13 Sailfish and 1 Mahi before noon. And then they tried the bottom for the afternoon catching some small Groupers and Snappers.
The past few weeks have been very slow inshore with not much live bait around but a crew finally found some Roosters, catching a 30 and a 55 pounder, straightening the hook on a much larger one.
