Offshore Bite
Offshore Bite
Dec 27, 2016 New Smyrna Beach
All offshore trips have been nice. If the wind is low we go! We are limiting out on Vermilions. Nice size black sea bass, Trigger fish, also a couple of Lane snapper and Mutton snapper. Some really nice Cobia showed up as well last week. The inshore bite is good as well. Black drum and Sheepshead are the main stay. Some Reds and Snook can still be found in key spots. Capt. Dan

Went out of Port Canaveral early had good reports of Mahi bite is on. Long story short we had 3 knock downs and one OK bull Mahi. Everyone had same out come. One here one there. No size. So we switched over to bottom fishing and got some more meat on the table! Black Sea Bass, Vermilion's, and Porgy's! All in all very good trip!
