Gulf Breeze Guide Service photo gallery

Spring 2006 started with a bang. The bull reds are still here. Schools of ravenous jack crevalle are patrolling the Gulf shallows. The sheepshead bite is going full speed. Slot-sized reds are cruising the flats. Grouper are showing up on inshore structure, and the annual pompano migration has begun. Due to lack of rain, the Gulf of Mexico is spectacular. Here are some photos from the first few trips of the season. For examples of previous action, check out these additional galleries: Photo Gallery for Winter 2006, Photo Gallery for Winter 2005, Photo Gallery for Spring 2005, Photo Gallery for Summer 2005, Photo Gallery for Fall 2005.
