The Snapper have been picky, but they haven't been turning down the live shrimp. We are fishing for the Snapper with a simple "fish finder rig" this consist of 3oz sliding egg sinker, about two feet of thirty # floral carbon leader & a 1/0 circle hook. Drop this rig down on your favorite ledge, with a live shrimp and hold on these Snapper are sucking em down. Grouper are in closer than normally found this time of year, there just a few miles off the beach. There being caught live bait fishing & trolling, my personal favorite way to fish these guys is trolling. Use a good set of down-riggers or deep diving plugs. Dragging deep diving plugs behind your boat can produce mixed results. If your dragging them in "dirty water" your not going to get near as many hits, however if you pick your day, and wait for nice calm / clear water you can put a lot of Gag Grouper on the deck. Don't be surprised to hook into a few big kingfish trolling like this. Huge schools of Spanish mackerel, & Bonita are loaded up just off the beaches. There hitting live sardines & small spoons, as well as jigs & other artificials. Tight Lines, Captain Steve Booking line (941) 575-3528 |

Smoked Skunk Ingredients:
Directions: Spend a week planning your trip with friends. Meet at the dock early in the morning; load the boat with all your food, beverages and fishing gear. Head out to sea with hopes of landing the big one and no clue about how to do it. Float around on the ocean aimlessly for 6 hours without a nibble. Get drunk and ticked off, throw your host overboard and spend the next 6 hours searching for the inlet that will return you to the dock. Congratulations, you've been skunked, your temper is smoking and all the people at the dock are having a good laugh at your expense when you finally make it back. |

Floaters Ingredients:
Directions: Float around in the ocean for 6 hours with your friends and no hope of landing the big one, leaving nothing for you to do, but swig on the bottle and chug your beer. Spend the next hours side by side with your friends, leaning over the gunnels hurling into the ocean. Create a cesspool of floaters that no fish will swim into, leaving behind a wake of chum not even the bottom feeders would crawl under. Save yourselves from the humiliation and book your next fishing trip with Captain Steve aboard the Paradise. |
