Trolling slowed down but the bottom fishing has been great. Cobia still around, red eye snapper and plenty of red snapper practice when the season finally opens. Bonita cut bait is recommended for grouper and squid on chicken rigs seem to get the best bites. Capt. Nick Searok Charters

It’s prime time fishing offshore out of Ponce Inlet. The bottom fishing has been busy, Amber Jacks are finally showing up regularly. Most fun way to catch them is with a speed jig on a spinning reel. Inshore you’ll find a healthy population of mutton and red eye snapper with the occasional trigger fish mixed in. If you like fishing live bait the grouper bite has been strong once you get away from all those pesky snapper. Capt. Nick

Mahi are still hanging around between 150 – 350 foot range. Water is getting warm, using a planer with a spoon or a diver lure will get them to come up to investigate your spread. If you don’t see weeds floating and want to blind troll try running a dredge with pink or blue lures. Lets hope they stick around for a few more weeks. Capt. Nick

What and how much bait to bring on an offshore trip is always a good guessing game. Always better to have more than less. A good alternative to expensive ballyhoo is bonito strips. Cutting the belly into strips and rigging it behind a sea witch will get strikes when your ballyhoo is not working. Capt. Nick www.searokcharters.com

Always have a cobia jig ready to throw. Capt. Nick

The long awaited Cobia run is officially here. Water temperature still in the mid 60’s it’s still colder than they like. Water temp being warmer closer to the surface than the bottom I would target the water column with live bait and cobia jigs. Bottom fishing is still strong over structures for snapper and trigger fish. Capt. Nick
