Great memories are made of moments like these.

Memories are made of moments like this.

Wow, the fishing really took off over the last couple weeks.

The nearshore Gulf has been great, we’ve been seeing fantastic numbers of delicious spanish mackerel, big jack crevalle, false albacore, and an occasional cobia.

The mackerel and jacks have been caught on jig heads with plastic tails. While the cobia was caught using a freelined live shrimp.

On days when the weather doesn’t allow us to fish in the Gulf, we have been catching a lot of small spotted seatrout, as well as some bluefish, jacks, ladyfish, and occasionally a nice pompano.

The night time snook fishing has also been good when the tide is moving. with catches of up to 20 fish in a 4 hour trip.
