Sheepshead are starting to move in nearshore, past few days have been a slow but steady pace catching 8-15 a trip but the bites only going to get hotter as they move closer to spawn.
Also catching Bull redfish, large black drum, and trout are starting to fire off as well

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Captain Bobby! He told us all about the area, the fish, and where to get the best seafood meals. We caught plenty of fish (and even a small shark!) so there was never any boredom in our two hours. 10/10 experience!

Trip: Young Angler Special!
★★★★★
Our family had an incredible experience with Captain Pat! My boys had the best time and haven't stopped talking about the trip. The fishing was fantastic, and Captain Pat was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone had a great time on the water. To top it all off, we took our catch back to the dock where it was cooked fresh—and it was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a fun, memorable fishing trip with an outstanding captain, I can't recommend Captain Pat enough. We'll definitely be back!
