The bottom bite was excellent. The mingo snapper bite was very good with good catches anywhere from 70′ all the way out to 250′. The biggest mingos have been in the deep water eating small live baits while scamp fishing with most catches coming on cut squid/chicken rig combos. We have also been catching some nice mangrove snapper in the 5-10 lb range on live bottom in the 80′-100′ zones. The scamp bite was pretty good also and with live bait being readily available load up on some small cigar minnows, speedos, or sardines and drop them on live bottom in 200′+ and hold on! The amberjack bits was excellent with most of the fish preferring live baits now though there are plenty to be had on jigs also. (floridasportfishing.com)
