Captain Jesse's Fishing Report
The Reef Prevails!

Reef Fishing continues to be lights out down here in Southeast Florida, whether Fishing the bottom for Snappers and Groupers or putting Live Baits on top for Sails and Kingfish, you are guaranteed action! Keep an eye out for Schools of Cobia as they have been present up and down the Reef, pitching a Live Threadfin or Sardine at these fish when on top will ensure their interest. Cobias are also caught on the bottom which adds to the wide array of fish you'll hook into while bottom fishing. Desired Structure and depth for quality fish remains to be natural ledges and Rock Piles from 75' to 120' of water.
