Capt. Kelly Kurtz with a nice looking Redfish.
The fishing this week was excellent both offshore and onshore. I ran several nearshore trips as the seas were calm and winds were light.
Fishing some hard bottom spot produced Grouper, snapper, porgies, key west grunts as well as a few triggerfish.
We also fished inshore several days catching and releasing many snook, trout and several oversized redfish as well as mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel.
