Sheepshead bite is absolutely on fire right now! The pompano have shown up in good numbers too. Redfish and an occasional speckled trout have been put on ice in the past week. Spring had sprung and they are biting!

Redfish and Sheepshead are really starting to show up good. A few Pompano are also in the mix from time to time. Springtime fishing is my absolute favorite time of year to go! Never know what you'll reel in until it's in the net!

First trip of the year was a success! Had the pleasure of taking this family from Minnesota offshore this week. Found some nice Beeliners and caught and release over 40 red snapper. Weather is warming up so let’s get out on the water and have some fun.

Fishing has been good for this time of year. Sheepshead, White Sea trout and bull reds. Weather has been hit and miss to get into the Gulf, but we can go inshore as well.

Weather has been great here on the gulf coast, light winds and warms temps! Fishing is starting to pick up as well. Sheepshead, speckled trout, and redfish have been the target species. The sheepshead bite is goin to really fire off in the coming weeks

My second trip with Bill and he put us right on the fish both times! He is a great captain and very knowledgeable of where the fish are and how to get them!

Trip: 5 Hour Bottom Fishing & Trolling
★★★★★
My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.

The wind was a pain for him to deal with. He still got us out fishing and did a great job. He knew what and where to go to get us on fish. He did a great job and I recommended him to my friends that went out with him the next day.

Captain Bobby was awesome!! We had some troubles dealing with the rip current but he was dedicated to getting us some dinner. His knowledge of the area is fantastic and his patience and enjoyment of watching my daughter catch a fish was amazing. He taught her and us alot!!
