Fishing in hot summer waters can sometimes be tough, but with the right tides, depths and bait, some fish are still biting!
Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel and the Sharks are on fire right now. Fish are going in the cooler and clients are leaving the docks with bags of meat.
With cooler waters just around the corner Redfish will start biting hard in Tampa Bay.

Fishing has been fire lately on Toho here in Orlando! Just drag a shiner and catch a big. It's just that easy no experience needed. Let's go make memories that last a lifetime! :)

Bowfishing has been good at night. Shooting alot of Tilipia, Gar, and Armored Catfish. Good way to beat the heat. Cooler summer nights.

    Jackson is a true professional guide who is easy to talk with & though I understand it’s been a struggle/grind with the cold fronts down here, he put me on the fish right away. We caught a total of 12 decent size Largemouth. I have been Bass fishing for over 30yrs in VA & surrounding states, but FL has been on my Bucket list for quite awhile! I certainly appreciated his tips & suggestions & found my experience here w/ Jackson as my guide superb. I would recommend him to all my friends & family looking for a good time fishing FL Bass. I will be back!🤓🎣

    We had the most amazing day with Captain Brad. We caught fish , seen dolphins, fed wild manatees fresh water, we are blown away with Captain Brads knowledge of both salt and fresh fishing, very informative and was as keen as us to catch, I took my 2 sons and my wife and it’s something we will never forget. If your looking for a captain….THIS IS THE ONE ☝️

    We had such an amazing time bow fishing with John! He was super knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip a blast. The setup was great, the boat was comfortable, and he explained everything in a way that made it fun and easy to learn. We caught plenty of fish and made some awesome memories out on the water. Highly recommend booking a trip with John—you won’t be disappointed!
