The snook bite is HOT HOT HOT! We've been able to limit out on snook just about every trip. Snook season ends on December 15th so you have until then to put some Snook in your freezer. As it cools down the big bull redfish will be showing up too...

Snook season is open and the bite is consistently strong. Big bull redfish are starting to show up for their fall pattern. Fall is coming and it's the best time of year to fish the legendary Sebastian Inlet! The mullet run is heating up which is an awesome experience to...

The summer snook bite is heating up, it’s the best time of year to get on trophy size snook!

Reported: 1 year ago

Pompano have been showing up in the area since we've had our first cold fronts of the winter. We are finding that there are lots of quality fish coming through which makes up for the lack of numbers. As this pattern goes on and with the weather cooperating we're looking...

AWESOME!! Captain Brent and Garrett were phenomenal guides. Brent took us out to the right spots and Garrett showed us the right techniques to land our 7 king mackerel and 1 barracuda. Myself and my brothers all had an awesome time and will and book with Captain Brent and Garrett again!

Trip: Inshore Fishing Trip

Overall the trip with Richard was excellent. My party arrived at the prescribed time and Richard already had the boat off the ramp and in the water. We loaded out stuff and off we went. The trip to the spot he selected took about an hour to arrive. He kept the hooks baited and provided suggestions and helped our youngest (11 yo) to hook fish and bring them it. Richard had a great selection of live and frozen bait that worked very well. Of the four of us each pulled in at least two fish with some getting more. Good selection pulled in with at least 4 different breeds of fish being kept which Richard prepared for us after we arrived. Well worth the money spent. The captain became a friend.

We had a blast on Captain Rick's boat. He took us straight out to a reef on top of wide open Mahi, sight fishing. Hes friendly, understanding, super knowledgeable, helpful and all around does it to make sure all types of anglers get an awesome chart with some big trophy catches. I would highly recommend getting on Captain Rick's boat for a fun day of big game fishing. Offers drinks om the boat. Filet, clean, and bag our catch. Next time we get back to the area, he will be our first choice for our next charter. Thank you, Captain Rick. Till next time!

Couldn’t recommend enough. Kenny was really knowledgeable, a great coach, had a great set up and made sure we had plenty of decent catches. We also got the opportunity to spot some local wildlife along the way. Would definitely book with him again in the future.

Taylor was a great captain who was a joy to fish with and put us on the fish. He's an easy going guy who, despite being a younger captain, already has considerable experience in Mosquito Lagoon. He was right on time, the boat was clean and well-organized, and spotted so many fish for us. Taylor is your secret weapon in the Lagoon.
