The weather has just been fantastic, allowing me to take a bunch of spring-break families way out on a slick, calm Gulf. I have been steady targeting the Amberjacks with side stops for triggers and vermilions.
All this nice warm sunshine has let the water heat up and the Spanish Mackerel showed up a week or so ago in force. I ran my first 2-hour afternoon trip of the year the other day with a mom and four boys who had a blast catching about 40 mackerel in short order.
