THE SPRING KINGS ARE HERE.


OFFSHORE
These late Spring Kings are getting wild, watch out, they are biting at everything, some are even going for serious areas in or out of the water (displayed in picture one). We are getting a great bite with just about all the reef fish and the kings right now. The days have been beautiful, and the bite has been fantastic. We are landing far more than our limit, and of course we are releasing them unharmed. We start releasing them when we have a couple of fish left on our limit. Then when we catch one that is hooked deep and won't live, we can keep it. The Gag Grouper bite has been on in shallow water lately also. Last week we caught a 15, 17, and an18 pounder. They were not on the same day, but with the big Mangrove Snapper bite, there has been an overly amount of meat to take home. The Banded Rudderfish bite has topped everything off and they fight like a big grouper. It has just been pleasant weather and a lot of fun lately. You better call and get in on it before everyone is filled up.
