Becca and Brad hit it hard today, and the weatherman hit back. The question is... who hold this 15 pound Red Snapper with odd facial features better? Becca or Brad?

Some people have been telling me the Red Snapper bite is over. I disagree, as do the McDowell brothers Billy and Terry. These two fatties fell prey to the McDowell family fishing prowess. It was a great day on the water!

If you've ever wondered what a 28 pound Jack Crevalle looks like, now you know. My client Jason caught this one yesterday in Pensacola Bay. It hammered his popper. Fun stuff!

How about an 18 pound Gag Grouper that had THREE of my hooks in its mouth? That's what this is... My anglers have been getting killed on this spot for a couple weeks. Now I see why. Today Cayden hauled in the culprit, had a photo op, and released the beast safely.

This is Lincoln, one of my favorite humans and a fine young fisherman. He worked hard and pulled this fine Red Snapper out of the deep yesterday. Great job, Lincoln!

It's true, the Gulf water is dirty and the Red Snapper bite has been a little soft. But if you follow the process and persevere, you can still find some nice ones. Here are MO clients Steve and Mike with a real fattie caught today - 37.5 inches, 28 pounds!

Today my pals Duke, Jake, and Steven put on a Large Red Snapper clinic. After hammering the Threadfins early, we headed out for the big fatties. Here are the results. It was a great day on the water! Oppressors Beware.

Today, Tom S and his family joined me for an inshore trip, with plans to watch the Blue Angels' practice. When we realized the Blues had canceled their practice we headed out into the Gulf. The water was still dirty, but that did not stop these folks from filling a nice fishbox with Red and Mangrove Snappers, including Tom's 22 pounder pictured here. Wowza!

Today the bait was tough. The bite was tough. The water was muddy. But... Jim and Danny persevered and ended up with a fine box of fish, including this 21 pound Red Snapper! Stay the course.
