Offshore there are reports of king mackerel, spanish mackerel, sailfish, & dolphin.

On the bottom there are reports of amberjack, grouper, grunts, snapper, & black bass, & pinkies.

Fishing tip of the week: There is a big difference in casting a net for mullet minnows versus menhaden. For mullet minnows you want to pull the net as soon as the net hits the water as mullet minnows are a lot more agile than menhaden. For menhaden minnows you want to let the net sink to the bottom before you pull it in. Keep fishing and stay safe.
