Captain Jesse's Fishing Report
Muttons And More!
As Summertime approaches, water temperatures continue to rise which has made for a Red-Hot bite on the reef. Bottom Fishing for a mixed bag of keeper Mutton and Mangrove Snappers, along with all the Rudderfish you could handle has kept us very busy. Live and dead Sardines remain the Predominant bait of choice for those quality fish, look for Natural Ledges and Rock Piles in depths ranging from 75' to 120' of water. Do not shy away from working a flat line with a live Sardine for a passing Sailfish or Mahi-Mahi as well.
