October Fishing Report by Capt. Randy Boggs

Red snapper are being caught in Florida waters out to 9 miles.Limits are common to 2 fish per person. Vermillion snapper are being caught on most of the larger reefs like the bridge rubble and barges and eve in shallow water 60’ to 70’ deep on cut squid. Trigger fish have shown up in big numbers and are being caught high in the water on cut squid on smaller hooks like 1 to 3 circle hooks.
A lot of red fish have been caught around the pass and in the bays. We have seen some really big catches of flounder on bull minnows, jigs, and Gulp!® baits.There have been black and yellow fin tuna being caught around the offshore rigs by trolling or jigging at night with diamond jigs.
We have seen quite a few wahoo caught in the last couple of weeks since the clear water has moved back in.We have even seen a few dolphins caught which is unusual this late in the season.
