Fish are mostly post spawn but already filling up on shad, catching them good on Jerkbait. Water temps are rising so top water stuff soon

Here are some recent photos, quick descriptions. Fish are mid-late spawn, sight fishing has been playing a role as well as reaction fishing as well. Fish are starting to chase shad as they move up to spawn as well so, moving baits such as spinnerbaits, underpins, jerk baits working well....

Had such an amazing time! Kevin knows his fishing holes and how to hook em. Had a great time on the water laughing and reeling them in! Can't wait to go again.

We had a great time. Parker was very knowledgeable and clearly experienced with the local fishery. He gave me a crash course on forward facing sonar and we used it to catch a bunch of fish!

My son and I booked a trip with Kevin's team through Captain Experiences. Our captain out of Long Beach was Jeremy. He was fun, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to be on the water. We did a half day trip which was more than great. My 14 year old son had a blast. I would do it all over again without a doubt.

Captain Harry is an excellent captain. I’d go out fishing with Captain Harry any day of the week. Very professional.

★★★★★
Jermeys Son Jackson was a solid captain and put us on all the target species for this time of the season. Our first mate Ed was also great and showed my 8yr son a lot of attention. (Which is slightly on the spectrum) The booking service also showed there colors by offering to discount our trip after learning that I am a disabled veteran.
