July Fishing Report

July has been phenomenal aboard both Fish’n4life and Taylor’Made Charters. We’ve had one of the best King mackerel seasons in over 10 years and it will last thru september! To add to this great news, we’ve been hooking up our clients with plenty of big Spanish Mackerel and Flounder too. The backwaters have been good for Redfish and Flounder and we’ve been catching them on Berkley Gulp Shrimp as well as live bait. We still have a few openings for August fishing. If your group is ready to get onboard, give us a shout!
