Sharks and wicked thunderstorms are reining terror on the gulf coast.
Vermillion snapper bite is great. Some king mackerel getting caught close as well.
Red snapper are plentiful enough to catch a few but the bite is not on fire

Well it's the end of September and fishing has been outstanding. There is a variety of species still being caught offshore. Snappers, triggerfish, Mackeral, and Mahi are still actively chasing baits. Stopping to sabiki for live sardines and cigar minnows has been effective for targeting those offshore species. We can expect as the waters continue to cool down to see a slower bite as those big fish move further out. Therefore, bouncing around from spot to spot seems to be the key to pick up those big ones still lurking around.

Inshore, the mangrove snapper and sharks are still plentiful
on the bridges in the bays and any structure you can find. The big bull reds are starting to push inshore and we look forward to targeting those big schools as we progress into October and November.
There is still plenty of fish to be caught so don't put up those rods yet and let's get out there for some great fall saltwater action.

The past month has been absolutely on fire. Finding live bait such as cigar minnows and scaled sardines, along with squirrel fish have been the keys to getting limits. Dropping a Carolina rig with 30-50 lbs leader and 3-6 oz weights depending on the current has been the key to success. Can't find the live bait schools, no worries chum up the water real good and drop frozen cigar minnows and you should still pick up a few. If snapper is not in play, no need to worry, schools of Mahi have been swarming the deeper wrecks and you always...

If snapper is not in play, no need to worry, schools of Mahi have been swarming the deeper wrecks and you always have a chance to pull in a nice king Mackeral or some skip jacks on the troll. Amberjack season is opening up August 1st so get those poppers and plugs ready and hold on when those big AJ's start busting them.

Fishing has been on fire this week. Coming off the full moon and the bite has turned back on for us. Summer's temperatures are rising and so is the fish bite. Book with us to get on the action!

    Cade was awesome! He put us on the fish early and we didn’t get off them until we headed back to the dock! We caught Spanish mackerel, spade fish, and catfish mostly. We had 17 keepers that we took back and cooked. Great captain & guide!

    Blake accommodated our location by coming 30 minutes closer to Navarre, great start. We fought some wind but overall had a great afternoon. Blake was very knowledgeable and courteous to my two young boys, which for me ensures he’ll get our business again. The highlight of the day was our rescue of a pelican wrapped up in fishing line, absolutely amazing to see and watch Blake in his element, saving wildlife. A hands on miracle!

    Captain Bryars put us on the fish early and often. Deckhand Logan was very attentive, and helped my son with his personal bests (plural). Great charter for children and adults alike. Can’t recommend enough!
