If you can go fishing now is the time to do it. With the warmer days we have been having the spring bite is starting to happen but the winter time fish are still here and feeding, so the whole gang is feeding. Here are some of the pictures from...

Water temps have been in the 50' so the fish are stacked up at the freshwater springs that are put there . They are in deeper water so my 8hr and 11hr are best for trips to the springs . Hogfish , and other reef fish are still biting closer to shore . On my last 11 hr to a spring we caught a limit of huge yellowtail and mangrove snapper , some huge porgys then played w Amberjack had them hitting poppers on the surface , caught like 6 big gag grouper, way too many huge Red Snapper. That spring is 65 miles . It was a super nice day so we could cruise at 35mph .
We were limited out early so we ranback in about 40 milestones the hogfish and caught about 25 or 30 hogs . Had 7 keepers .

My wife and I recently booked an afternoon fishing trip with Jose. Jose was very personable and immediately set us at ease. He has a great sense of humor and we laughed throughout the afternoon. More importantly, we caught fish from the beginning of the trip to the end. Jose knows these waters and where to find them. We caught many species (spotted sea trout, sheepshead, redfish, snook, pinfish, a shark, and the elusive triple tail). The sea trout were the most plentiful and made an excellent meal. Thanks Jose for a fun afternoon. We will book again the next time we are in the area!!

Had a great time with Captain Nick and Tyler! Took us to several spots and caught lots of different types of fish. Captain Nick spent time cleaning all the fish as well to be able to take home several bags of fish for dinner.

We had a great trip with Cpt. Brook. We are definitely rookies when it comes to salt water fishing so he was a big help. He Knew the great spots and was very eager to share his knowledge of the local waters and wildlife habitats. Would recommend.
