Waters warming up pretty quick redfish is consistent as of now. Trout bite has been great the past few weeks. And we should start to expect some pompano soon.

Greg knows his stuff! He took us around a few areas where we caught a variety of whiting, trout, flounder, and catfish. We left with enough fish to feed our group three times over. Greg was great about handling bait as well. His one-liners weren’t too shabby either.
