We have caught a pile of fish this week but this o We have caught a pile of fish this week but this one was special, my good friend and client Jason Friedman caught it casting a plug in 8ft of water on the first cast of the day. A 17lb gag is a good fish anywhere but it was awesome watching this fish peel drag in shallow water and I’m glad it was caught be someone who knows how special it was.

The past 2 days have been absolutely awesome botto The past 2 days have been absolutely awesome bottom fishing and both days had a unique experience as well. Yesterday we found a little piece of rock on our way to our first spot, we anchored up and proceeded to catch a full boat limit of quality red grouper in roughly 10 minutes, while this was happening I saw a fish hit a half dead pinfish behind the boat, I put out a flat line with wire and after 3 missed attempts we hooked what turned out to be a 82lb wahoo. That’s a fish I won’t soon forget. Today on our way out David spotted a shark attacking a turtle right at daylight, we drove over too it and there was a 80lb turtle fighting off an 8ft tiger shark, the turtle was clearly gassed and the tiger knew it. We managed to safely pull the turtle up on the transom and set it on the seadek. David held on to it and we idled for while we let catch it’s breath. The turtle was not at all aggressive towards us, although minutes prior it was snapping its jaws at a super aggressive shark. We safely set it back in the water and it swam away strong. I’m not sure about the legality of it but I know what we did this morning was morally right. Who knows what will happen tomorrow but i can promise you we will hammer the grouper and snapper. #wahoo #fishing #suzukioutboards #freemanfamily #epic #shrimplanding #goodtimes #hukgear

The past 2 weeks have produced some great fishing The past 2 weeks have produced some great fishing both inshore and offshore! From trout, gags and Cobia inshore to red grouper, Amberjack, and lane snapper offshore it’s been great fishing all the way around. My customers have had to fight some wind but it’s definitely been worth it. if you want to get out there in the next two weeks send us a message and we will do everything we can to get you on the water! #hukgear #workharder #loveit #bigtime #cobiaseason #youngboats #windy #simradyachting #suzukioutboards #battlebornbatteries
It’s been a great week and the Cobia are startin It’s been a great week and the Cobia are starting to show up in decent numbers which is great to see. The snook bite has remained consistent so far with lots of quality fish making there way out of the creeks as they prepare to go offshore to spawn. Make sure that if you catch a Cobia with a bright colored tag in its back that you do your best to release it because it has an Echo Transmitter in its stomach cavity,FWC is doing a lot of work to help get more information on the Cobia population. Definitely looking forward to the next few weeks of fishing! #sodiumfishinggear #fun #simradyachting #workhard #youngboats #hukgear #suzukioutboards
