You are not outrunning any of the fish at this speed either. I have caught more fish this way than ever trolling around 8 knots along a weed line. Now it is wise to have a bait ready to cast to fish that you actually come up on because hand fed is always a good bet too. But just think about the logic; 5 hours of trolling at 8 knots covers 40 miles while 5 hours at 12 knots covers 60 miles. It just increases your odds of finding fish.

On the reef now is a good bite of Yellowtail as well as the mangrove snapper........... mutton snapper and grouper, too. Depths have been varying but the best ones that have been reported have been 45 to 70 feet. Deep waters have been full of big sharks that seem to know just when to eat the big one you hooked. This is not to say that 45 feet of water is shark free. When you find the good numbers of fish, you will find the sharks as well.
Silversides, shrimp and squid have been the best bait working for the reef. As always, if you don't use plenty of chum, take a good book or a deck of cards.
The reef is a good place to hit on the way in from being offshore or in the evenings. The bite has been much better and with the calm winds and strong sun of June, sitting still through the heat of the day will tempt you to jump in just cool off which is fine, except when you have been chumming for some time. Then you just may see one of those big critters that I was talking about earlier. It sure makes for a short swim and totally removes the need for a ladder when you see one while in the water.
Another fishery for the evenings as well as mornings is the tarpon fishing which is still steady throughout local waters. Live pinfish, live crabs and if you can catch them, live mullet are by far the best baits to use.
There have been some very nice snapper as well throughout the area bridge channels as of late. An occasional nice grouper have also been found around the pilings. This is one of the finest ways to be out there and enjoy the sunset on the water. It just wraps up another fine day here and winds you down nicely, unless you are hooked up with the Silver King. Then it only got better
