My group from Ohio booked their first gulf fishing trip on my website and they crushed it! We started with a slow bite, but it got hectic pretty fast. They loaded up on a limit of Vermillion Snapper, a few Grass Porgy's, and a couple triggerfish. Tons of undersized fish released as well. For the last half hour, they wanted to bend the rods a little more so we put on some bigger baits and they got to pull on a few nice red snapper. Seas were around 1ft, 10mph South winds, and partly cloudy. Was a great day!

The snapper bite has been phenomenal! Mangrove Snapper is open and one of the tastiest fish out there! Red Snapper should open up in June!

Destin, FL January 14, 2022 With calmer water conditions, we were able to run further to a proven grouper spot. Using slow-pitch jigging and live bait, we managed to catch fish all day. Since Triggerfish and Red Snapper are not open we focused our efforts on catching Scamp Grouper. These fish are tricky to hook and are experts at stealing live bait. We had to use very light tackle which was very fun and sporty! Several break-offs from sharks, lots of nice snapper, and a ton of smaller triggerfish too.
