The last couple of weeks have been a good mix bag of fish. Offshore the Red grouper bite continues to be good on the nearshore ledges along with lane snapper, mangrove snapper, Grunts and Spanish mackerel have moved in. The inshore has been good early morning with a solid reddish bite and snook on the beachs. You can also find mangrove snapper around the bridges and dock, small sheeps head are showing up as well.

We’ve been putting some serious fish on deck lately — cobia, mangrove snapper, gag grouper, and red grouper have all been chewing.

We’re mixing it up and staying on the bite, using live bait, cut bait, shrimp, and throwing jigs, depending on what the fish want. And it hasn’t mattered whether we’re fishing daytime or after dark — the action has been steady.

    We had such a wonderful experience with Captain Charlie ! Amazing communication from day one, which is something you really don’t find anymore. This was my first time out fishing like this, and he immediately made me feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease. We left with wonderful memories and so much appreciation for the day. Captain Charlie is genuine, personable, and an absolute pleasure to be around. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! We highly recommend Charlie and would absolutely book with him again! 🎣❤️
