Monthly Fishing Report by Capt. Randy Boggs
A new feature for the blog, a monthly fishing report from my friend Capt. Randy Boggs.
Fall is here. As the first cold fronts roll through and the water temperatures start to cool, the fishing heats up.
Red snapper are being caught from the near shore reefs to well offshore in 250 plus depths. The trigger fish are making their fall appearance, along with the vermillion snapper who seem most eager to bite. Amberjack have shown up recently; some are keepers, but a lot of them are too short. The grouper have been scarce on all but the long trips.
The King mackerel and Spanish mackerel are on a feeding frenzy. In October and late November, we will be certain to seem some really big King and Spanish caught.
For those of you who enjoy offshore fishing, the yellow fin tuna have been slow. Off the rigs, some black fin tuna are being caught. Wahoo can be caught in the open waters in most areas over 15 miles offshore. We have not seen any dolphin fish being caught and the white marlin are showing up at the Nipple and the Edge with an occasional blue marlin and sail fish showing up as well.
The current water temperature is 81.9°F.
