Hope everyone is doing well. I know….. I haven’t been posting many or any fishing reports. So, here it goes. If you’re wondering what I’ve been doing if I’m still fishing or if I’m even running charters here is your answer. 4 years ago Arelys and I started a new business. The Happy Snapper Food Truck. A food truck? Yes. It’s been something we talked about starting for many years before we decided to jump into the business. I bought a car hauler and we built our own food truck ourselves. Thanks to a lot of YouTube videos on how to build a mobile kitchen. It’s been a lot of fun. We’ve learned a lot and 4 yrs in business is still growing and striving. Our menu has a little something for everyone. From fresh Grouper, snapper, lobster, shrimp and avocado tacos to our Crab Rangoon cheese sticks. For those non seafood eaters we have chicken tenders. Of coarse, we do hook and cook. 😂 Even though we started this new business I am still running charters. After all the years on the water, I’ve only been taking out repeat customers. This week the bite has been really good. On the nearshore trips we’ve been catching very nice mangrove snapper, grunts & sharks. Caught a few short hogfish and a few under size gag grouper. The biggest Gag was 22 1/2 inches. On the inshore trips we’ve been catching some very nice speckled trout. We are also catching mangrove snapper, sharks, grunts, and a bunch of Ladyfish. Today’s monster trout was right at 22 inches. If you are on this page most likely we’ve fished together. Welcome to the RCC (repeat customer club). If you’re looking to get out and fish, private message me and I will put you down on my calendar. Stay safe, stay well. Hope to see some of you soon. Tight lines
