We had a couple great trips during the Christmas holiday and the snapper were definitely hungry. We cashed in on 5 limits of state red snapper in very short order.

We then kicked off Amberjack season and the new year with a bang. We went out 45 miles on the 1st and jumped right on the AJ’s. Only taking live bait, they were quick to the draw. We ran out of live bait within an hour. Was a great trip.

On the 3rd we went out for wahoo and whatever else was lying in wait. I think the weather had the fish off as the bite was slow. We managed a few catch and release red snapper and hooked a few grouper that took us into the rig and also got a visit from the tax man.
