Kingfish are back in town for Spring Break and it’s making our half-day and all-day party boat fishing even more exciting for passengers and crew alike. We are seeing nice 10-30lb kingfish smoking the flat lines and smashing our trolling plugs and spoons on the way out and back offshore. Plus, the hogfish bite has been great this week this past week on live shrimp and fiddler crabs. We caught one of the largest hogfish I have seen on a half day trip this past Wednesday with Capt Dave Singletary using a live shrimp with a 4ot hook and 30lb fluorocarbon.
The grey snapper or white grunt action has been a little hit and miss, we are having to travel further to 12-14 miles on our half day trips lately since that red tide at the end of 2018 the fishing near shore from 6-10 miles really hasn’t recovered well and were still having to go further than normal to get into the quality action we were used to pre-red tide. However, once you get deeper past 40ft of water beyond 12 miles the fishing has been great recently on lane snapper, hogfish, mangrove snapper, and MORE!
