John’s Pass Offshore Report

The scamp grouper and red grouper bite was insane mid-week this past week ahead of the big cold front that came through today. They were really excited as that big front approached and the start of the full moon probably helped to make them more aggressive as well. We limited out on red grouper on the HUB twelve hour private charter this past Wednesday with a few tuna, scamp and some nice mangrove snapper mixed in.

Hogfish Active at 40-50 ft

The hogfish bite has been pretty good this week, we are still seeing them around 30-70 foot of water but lately around 40-50ft has been the best depths.

John’s Pass Inshore Report

This past week we have seen something unique that I have never heard of or seen before. We had a young angler named Daniel Peterson, from Wisconsin, fishing with cut clam pieces for sheepshead on our dock catching large black mullet one after another for a solid thirty minutes or so. Normally you cannot catch mullet on hook and line unless you fool them with a small gold pinfish sized hook and a ball of bread so seeing him catch mullet on a 2ot hook with clams for bait was wild! We have also seen lots of the sheepshead being caught as well, before the mullet started feeding he was catching some nice sheeps with the occasional spadefish mixed in on the cut clams for bait.
