February Fishing Report from Capt. Randy Boggs

Red snapper are being caught on all of the wrecks and natural bottom as catch and release. We saw a couple of red snapper walking along the beach trying to get a way from all the ones in the water.

Vermilion snapper are being caught in the 115’ depths and deeper on cut squid. A lot of red grouper have shown up but the season will close February 15th and remain closed until March 15th along with black grouper. The season for gag grouper is closed from February 1 to March 31. Please visit http://www.gulfcouncil.org for a complete listing of federal fishing regulations.

Sheephead have been showing up around the Perdido Pass Bridge and the rocks. In the deeper holes in the creeks and rivers, trout are being caught. Reports of King mackerel have been reported about 20 miles south of Perdido Pass.

On the rigs, the reports of black fin tuna have been good. They are being caught on diamond jigs at night. Chunking and trolling will result in a catch of yellow fin tuna.
