What a beautiful day on the water today. A little chill, but what a thrill, caught some nice fish to put on the grill. Another great day of Family fun. Making memories that will last a lifetime. Book your trip today.

With the cooler temperatures, the sheepshead bite has been the most productive as we transition into spring. Redfish still biting as well, but aren't as aggressive right now.

Reported: 2 months ago

Speckled trout have shown up in big numbers. Did some catch and release Red Snapper last week. Biggest 2 ever caught on the boat and it was back to back. The biggest one was 22 lbs. The other one was 18 lbs. Not bad for 35' of water.

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!!
