Fishing Report
We had our first cold front drop in on us and the water temps have dropped almost 8 degrees. There is a huge improvement in the bite across all species and in all depths.

With the cooler temps look for the reef fishing to really take off. Grouper and Mutton Snapper are making their way to shallower reef areas and structure holding bait. Look for some nice Grouper to be biting live pinfish in 60-100 foot depths. Mutton Snapper have been biting along the reef edge, the outside edge of the bar and around wrecks. In shallower water I have been catching large numbers of Muttons in 16-25 feet. Most are just under but if you hang in there you get a wave of legal size fish. Yellowtail are biting good as usual so keep the chum flowing and get them feeding before you drop a bait back in and start yanking them out of the water. There have been some nice Red Grouper cruising channel edges along shallow flats. I have picked up a few keepers and plenty of shorts throwing a small jig tipped with a squid up on a flat and jigging it back off into the deeper water. MORE.....
