The mackerel fishing has been good as of late with most macks caught at the brides and in the bay.

There have also been some kingfish caught as well.   Live sardine or greenbacks are the best bait.   Use a 30 lbs test florocarbon leader for a beter bite -- you can use steel leader but they see it and don't like it as well.

The mono leader is harder to see so use this instead!

There also some trout around on the deep grass flats.

So good luck and tight lines!

Hi again to all.  The fishing for snook and trout has been good!  The fishing will get better as the weather gets cooler and the snook move up the rivers and creeks. It should cool off soon the cold snap 10 days ago had them biting good on the moving tides. Now is the time to book your charter for the fall and winter fishing season .

Tight lines,
