Just because red snapper is out of harvest season doesn’t mean you can’t catch them. They are great fighters, great for pictures and when vented correctly they have a high percent recovery rate. We have caught these guys anywhere from 3 miles from shore all the way to over 200′ of water. We’ve caught them on just about any lure or bait. We’ve even caught them on a fly rod. Now if we would just have a longer season than 5 days would be even better.

With wahoo season right around the corner we’re making sure we are ready for battle. This is one the most anticipated times of year for fishing. Wahoo can not only swim 70 MPH and grow BIG but they’ll strip your reel of its line in a matter of seconds. Big reels, big rods heavy line and big lures are needed for these elusive predators. Not only are they fun to catch but they yield some of the best meat in the world. In my opinion wahoo is the best eating fish in the ocean. Let’s plan your offshore fishing adventure

Bottom fishing is still steady offshore between 80 and 130 feet of water. Red eye snapper are biting on cut bait and squid. Red snapper are usually around so have to get past them on the way down to get the red eyes to bite. King fish are not as thick as they have been but you can still pick up one here and there trolling back closer to shore. Capt. Nick

Ponce Inlet offshore water temps have been sitting in the low 80’s which means hungry fish. King mackerel are still loving the planer and spoon combo. We’ve had great luck with bigger fish using chin weighted ballyhoo and larger bonita strips with white and pink sea witch. The only downside is when kings are plenty so are the barracudas. Reel fast…. Capt. Nick

Offshore fishing report July 9th: Tons of weeds moved closer to shore which brought the pelagic bite into the 80 to 150 foot of water. Although it’s a chore to clear all the baits as you troll through the miles and miles of sargassum it usually yields good results. Naked ballyhoo got the most bites. Offshore fishing report July11th: We ran a little different trip this time. Stayed close to shore and fished for bonita on light spinning rods. Using vertical speed jigs we cast into the school of bonita and it didn’t take long to get a bite.
