Fishing has been great as the water temperatures have cooled down to 80°. We call it red October for a reason as a red fish have been on fire. We have had a few Snook dropped in as well, and the trout bite is just picking up and it's only gonna get better as our water temperatures cool down as the fall is just now begin.

Only a couple days left of grouper season I'm booked solid. But redfish and snook are on the menu as this cold passes. It's gonna cool the water down and fire these fish up.

The Lord gave us some nice weather conditions again yesterday with a little wind, and high clouds to keep things fairly comfortable out there. Even had a short cooling rain shower just as we were starting to get a little hot. I had two of my favorite people to fish with on the boat. Johnny and Billy love to fish so it is always a good time putting them on some nice Redfish. We had our limit by 10:00 a.m. Fished around a little bit more checking out a couple more spots and put a few more fish in the...

John rang the dinner bell yesterday catching some nice Flounder and Seatrout out in God's Country! Also caught Redfish, Snook, Gag Grouper, a couple of huge Rays, and various other species while bouncing around different flats, rock piles, oyster bars and islands. Another blessed day of fishing new areas of this vast Yankeetown fishery.

I fished with Dean from Bucks Graphics and his girlfriend Krista yesterday. Dean said he wanted to catch his first Snook and we checked that box first thing in the morning with a beautiful 32 and 3/4 inch drag screamer! Other than the Snook, the bite was a little slow in the morning, on a slow moving outgoing tide. However when the tide turned around and started coming in, things picked up, and Krista decided to put the hammer down on some quality Seatrout, including a pair of fat 22 + inch ones. Not bad for her first time fishing!...

Ran a scouting trip yesterday with my buddy John out into God's Country. Fished some areas I am not familiar with, which is always fun, and we were fairly productive. We caught about seven or eight Redfish, with the biggest coming in just over 32 in. Also caught some nice Seatrout, including John's fat 22-in piggy. At first we thought John had a Redfish on as it was pulling some drag until it came to the surface and we saw it was a nice chunky Trout. Her stomach was already stuffed full of bait fish, so she had no reason...

We had such a great experience with Captain Jacob! He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip fun for everyone. He knew where to take us, and we had a great time fishing and being out on the water. He was especially great with the kids and made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. We really enjoyed our charter and would definitely recommend Captain Jacob to anyone looking for a fun fishing experience in Crystal River. We’ll definitely book with him again!

What a great time with Capt. Gavin and Liz. They got us on the scallops right away and we made a day of it. From the moment we walked in he made us feel at ease. Funny knowledgeable and patient. This is a must do next season.

Had a great afternoon with Justin. Thrifty minutes in we ran into bad weather with wind, lightning and rain. He drove out of it looking for other options and we came back to original area and had a great last 1.5 hours of scalloping with success. We did not limit out, but that was due to weather. Really fun time with first time scallopers.
