They can run, but they can't hide. I couldn't get in the gulf today due to wind conditions, but fishing in the bay was just as fun. Fishing is on fire. Book your trip today and make some memories.

We never fished Florida before so we hooked up with Capt. Jake so he could show us around, he was amazing! We started out with lures, did a little jigging and finished with some live bait. He knows every hole and structure in the bay. We caught redfish, sea trout, mangrove, snapper and king mackerel. Can’t wait for the next vacation, will definitely be calling him again. I would recommend him to anyone that’s looking for an exciting day on the water.

We caught fish at every stop and Seth and crew were very helpful and patient with us (our first trip and had a 10year old along). Even with rough water conditions and a little seasickness, they kept us on top of the fish. Everyone had a real good time. BN

My son and I had a great time out on the water with Captain Randy! My son, who is 7, had never caught a fish all on his own and he ended up catching more than I did that day! Captain Randy stayed right with him helping him get his hook baited and back in the water every cast and then cleaned the fish we kept so we could take them down the road and have them cooked up for lunch. It was an experience we will be talking about for years. We can't wait to come back and do it again!
