Sheepshead season is in full swing and despite the colder days and extra layers for a comfortable day on the water, we are loading the boat with delicious fish. Sheepshead crowd into our area this time of year for the spawn and they are hungry and need to fill up to get through the hard days of spawn. Alongside the sheepshead, we are catching many other species such as redfish, black drum and mangrove snapper. All very fun and very tasty species. Cold days or warm days we are keeping the rods bent and having a lot of fun on...

Winter is here, and the bite is still producing nicely. Recent cold fronts have pushed fish into deeper holes and troughs, and they’re stacked up and feeding.

We’ve been finding consistent action around deeper creek mouths and structure, and the fish have been aggressive and hungry.

With warmer weather right around the corner, conditions are shaping up even better, and the bite should only improve from here. It’s a great time to get on the water and take advantage of these winter patterns before things really heat up.

Cold weather brings out the tasty sheepshead! Fishing them under docks, and deep mangroves holes. Nearshore has been producing them as well in structures.

Small pieces of shrimp on a jig head does the trick.

Fishing has been really good, even with the cold fronts coming through. It's not stopping the bite after these next few colder days are over; it will start to warm up, and the fish are gonna go crazy eating everything

The Redfish, sheepshead, and trout bite has been great the last two weeks. They're eating live shrimp. 20-40 fish days have been common.

Sheepshead bite has been really good and will only get better as these cold fronts move in. Targeting them near structure, pilings, rock pilings along the beaches. Using small prices of shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook and a pinch weight.

    We had a great time out on the water with Captain Jerry! He made sure we had ice, water, and plenty of bait. The weather kept us inland a little bit but he was flexible and moved to where the fish were. Our boys were very excited to catch two sharks, two pufferfish, a catfish, and several other types of fish, some of which we were able to keep for dinner. Thanks Captain Jerry!

    We had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Ty! He put us on an incredible variety of fish, including Goliath grouper, shark, snook, and ladyfish. 🎣 Captain Ty worked incredibly hard the entire trip. He never gave up and did everything he could to put us on fish and keep us on them. His knowledge, effort, and determination made the trip an experience we won’t forget. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter, I highly recommend Captain Ty. We had an amazing time, and I will definitely be back and booking another trip with him! Thanks again, Captain Ty, for an awesome day on the water! 🤙🎣

    Captain Chris was amazing! He provided great communication before our iguana hunting trip and during. Captain Chris was great with his instructions for our 10-year old and 8-year old. He was also very considerate and had a great approach to dealing with kids. We saw quite a few iguanas, shot quite a few, and recovered quite a bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend Captain Chris! Very knowledgeable and experienced!

    Absolutely a blast. Great group, great coordination, and a genuinely fun evening from start to finish. It took some getting used to at first, since you basically have to identify the animals by color alone, but once you get the hang of it, it clicks fast and makes the whole thing even more interesting. Everything was well organized and the communication was spot on. I would do this again anytime. Highly recommended!
