Mackerel are plentiful near shore. Were catching loads on our 5-hour half-day, 39-hour, and 44-hour trips, often while trolling. Remember, during our 10-hour we are typically moving too fast to troll effectively, and our 12-hr extreme is moving much too fast to troll! If youre looking to go out and catch mackeral just head a few miles offshore and start trolling up and down the beaches. They are very thick out there and you have a good chance at catching them! Hogfish action is fantastic on our 10-hour all-day trips and private charters. Nows your chance to catch these unique and delicious fish. Theyre biting best on 30lb leader with 3-4ot hooks, rigged knocker rig style. Our Roggies rigs banana jigs are also effective. We have 10-hour trips heading offshore this weekend on sunday and then again on Tuesday! I would highly recommend checking out either of those trips as the weather should be good, and the fishing will be hot! Lane Snapper are thriving, and thankfully, no closure is in sight. Theyre biting on shrimp, squid, sardines, and more. We have seen plentiful lane snapper on the 10-hour and even 5-hour and has been a real good time reeling them up! Mangrove Snapper are steady near shore. While theyre not huge, theyre impressive for near shore waters. Try targeting them with shrimp or double snell rigs and cut threadfin chunks. Remember the mangrove snapper are very fast chewing fish! You have to be ready for that bite!
