June 1-12 2026 Fishing Report: Reef & Offshore Action Heating Up in AMI!
It was an incredible two week on the water out of Holmes Beach, running a mix of reef, nearshore, and full-day offshore charters. Our 4-hour nearshore and reef trips stayed highly active, producing a steady bite of tasty panfish including Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Hogfish, Key West Grunts, and Porgies. We also tangled with plenty of short Red Grouper and some large, hard-fighting Gag Grouper that were safely released.
For the groups looking to go deep, our 8-Hour Offshore Charter really put it on the meat. We ran out into the Gulf of Mexico and targeted deeper structure, bringing home a healthy box of keeper-sized Red Grouper and jumbo Lane Snappers.
Captain's Tip: The Sandbar Sharks are out and heavily patrolling the reefs right now. When you hook into a big grouper or snapper, you have to button down the drag and reel fast to beat the tax man to the boat!
All of our private trips depart daily from the Kingfish Boat Ramp. The summer bite is officially on, so check our calendar and lock in your dates!
