We jumped a Sailfish on a 26 mile wreck this past week, a pretty rare sight. Landed an oversize Snook and a big Bull Redfish, too big to keep but great pictures. Tournament size Kingfish while Red Grouper Fishing out 30 miles. Largest Grouper 35 inches amongst many others. Keeper cobia on the half day trips and Gag Grouper are also in close, must get them off the bottom as quickly as possible or they will get you in structures.

Cooling waters have certainly produced the best catches of the year and will continue.
