Offshore on the bottom grouper, snapper, beeliners, black bass, ringtail, grunts, & sharks. Close to the beach plenty of Spanish mackerel.

Fishing tip of the week: This is the time of year that fishing starts to pick up a little bit in the waterways, river, & bays. But don’t forget that it’s just May. Don’t let your expectations be too high. The good fishing starts when you start seeing lots of minnow & shrimp. This will be around late June through November. That’s when you will have some great catches! So if you catch a few fish this time of year you’ve done well. Keep fishing & stay safe.
