Southbound
Catch of the Day

Same conditions as yesterday but the results were a little different. Yesterday, the Yellow Snapper were biting well, The Live bait came up relatively easy and we saw a Sailfish almost as soon as we started fishing for one. But the results were different today. Still...

It was a good day today We anchored on the reef trying to get some live ballyhoo. We were hoping to catch a Sailfish and live ballyhoo is an excellent bait. The ballyhoo were not easy, but we caught some nice Yellow Tail snapper for dinner while we were waiting on the...

The Gulf of Mexico has been the best place for fishing for the last few days. We’ve been fishing around the rock piles and shoals and catching some good King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerels. Unfortunately, That will end today as a strong late season cold front is...

The Weather is Fantastic the seas were calm and the sun was warm. It’s starting to feel like summer, but that should change on Tuesday as we have a late season cold front headed our way. The offshore fishing on the Atlantic side is tough. Fortunately, the Reef...

We fished In the Gulf of Mexico again today. The wind is still blowing strong out of the Southeast. Fortunately, the Spanish and King Mackerel are still biting well on the Gulf side. The wind should start dropping tomorrow and should be less through Monday. There is...

The wind has been blowing pretty hard the last couple days. It is coming out of the Southeast. This allows us to fish in relative comfort in the Gulf of Mexico because the Islands block some of the wind. Unfortunately, the Gulf will get too stirred up for trolling if...

The Southbound had an afternoon half day trip today. I’m still at the hunting camp. But I do know that Capt. Jay Weed and 1st mate Ben helped the customers land some nice fish including a big kingfish  I am still hunting for a couple more days. I did not see any hogs...

The Southbound  had a half-day trip today, but I can’t tell you what we caught, because I was not there. I decided to take a few days off at my hunting camp up in south-central Florida. Captain Craig Giovani who until very recently was the owner of the Grandslam is up...

2 Trips Today The first trip was a father and son from up in the cold north. The reef action was pretty good, Mostly Barracudas, but we put out the light spinning tackle to make it challenging and had some fun. The Second Trip was some familiar faces. Two friends and...

Still a little cool and just a touch breezy today. We had a cold front move through the area yesterday. It was supposed to drop off more than it did, but it was not too bumpy. The blue water is way inside the reef to the west. Coral heads and shoals that are normally...

2 Trips Today Morning trip a 6hr trip and Mother Nature was amazing. Weather and the water were beautiful. Clear, sunny and calm with well over 50 ft. visibility in the water. Every rock on the bottom was visible. This is not great for fishing even though it does make...

The Guys I had on the boat today have fished with me before. They are fishermen and hunters and understand you don’t always get what you want. We decided to go far west looking for live bait to try to catch some Sailfish. I told them it was a bit of a crap shoot...
