June Fishing Report by Capt. Randy Boggs

All of the rain we have had north of here has pushed a lot of fresh water into the creeks and rivers pushing some of the largest speckled trout into the bays where they can be caught. They are being caught on jigs, shrimp or croakers.
There have been a lot of red fish being caught around the pass on cut bait and trolling with planers and spoons. One of my favorite fish, the Spanish mackerel, have made a descent showing and are being caught trolling with planers and spoons as well. The larger Spanish mackerel can be caught by chumming and drifting live bait back into the chum.
Quite a few King mackerel are being caught - school size near shore to some really big ones off shore. We have caught three over 30 lbs in the past week.
Red snapper season has finally opened. We have heard reports of great catches. Trigger fish are being caught on a regular basis on cut squid. Grouper are good in the deep water on live bait or larger cut bait.
In all of my years of fishing, the bottom fishing is as good as it gets. I have never seen the fishing better as well as the quality of the fish being caught.
Further offshore, yellow fin tuna are being caught jigging or trolling around the rigs.
