Night anchor trips are catching the highest numbers of fish out of the 3 trips aboard our party fishing boat. Our night anchor trip concentrates on fishing for snappers on the bottom. Lots of yellowtails are biting at night. Mangrove snappers are biting pretty good too. Usually on the full moon of September, the mangroves will spawn and bite extra good. Tomorrow night is the full moon, so we’ll see. A select few muttons are also biting and they’ve been big! The muttons we’re catching this week have averaged 6-12 pounds, which is a bit larger than our average muttons usually are. Sharks are also biting on some nights on our anchor trip. We catch a lot of Atlantic sharpnose sharks, Cuban night sharks, blacktips and nurse. These sharks aren’t the monster gamesharks that we catch on our sportfishing charters, but rather 3-4 ft in length and perfect for a good fight on 30 pound test. Our night anchor trips are catching the most fish by numbers of any of our daily $40 trips.
