Hubbard’s Marina Fishing Reports

Hogfish action is going really well in nearshore right now we’re seeing those hogfish really active on our five-hour half day 10 hour all day and nearshore private fishing charters we typically catch a majority of our hogfish using live shrimp on three different rig setups either the knocker rig, the naked ball jigs, or those banana jigs that we carry in our shop.

Inshore Report Sheep’s head are starting to get more and more prolific around the area as water temperatures get lower and lower. We’re seeing the sheep’s head around the dock piers, bridges, jetties, and virtually any structure that has growth that will attract them. Small pieces of shrimp with light tackle on minimal weight are […]
