Recent fishing reports.
Hogfish bite remains great offshore, along with mangrove snapper and occasional gag grouper (still fun to catch although they're out of season.)
redfish are piling up on inshore islands, mangroves and oyster beds. Some trout around as well, and any day the mackerel and kingfish will be showing up in numbers off the beach. Best time of the year is right now!

Well, the water temps have climbed back up into the 60s and what a blessing it was for us not to have a significant fish kill. Other places were not quite so lucky how our fish were able to hang on through those 50° water temps was amazing and they are alive and well.
During those times are focused was more on what we could target and provide our best. Captain's experiences catching bull sharks around local power plants was very reliable, and the reef bite for snapper and Sheepshead has been on fire. We've...

We've been considerate of these fish during their spawn only taking a couple fish makes for a brighter fishery in the future
So let's get out there and get your trips booked with Captain's experiences, your catches are waiting.
Tampa bay waters are warming up and already we're seeing a good number of Sheepshead, Blackdrum, Southern Ray's showing up on the Saltwatwr flats. On the Freshwater side the Spotted Gar are still showing themselves with a mixed batch of Tilapia and other mix. Look for for the shallow banks with the most sun exposure when transitioning into your night bowfishing action also look for down trees branches or any type of structure that fish can hide that's where you are find your Ambush predators

If you can go fishing now is the time to do it. With the warmer days we have been having the spring bite is starting to happen but the winter time fish are still here and feeding, so the whole gang is feeding. Here are some of the pictures from today's fishing charter,they ended catching 10 species.

Going out with Captain Brad was a great time. He is a no nonsense guide who went above and beyond to get us on the fish. Even in not so great weather, he made sure we all had a great time.
My whole crew was extremely happy with excursion I was sick the whole trip so this review is for them. I’d recommend them very informative very nice and very caring.
We had an excellent time with Zack. He knew all the best spots to fish and made sure that we were successful. The day flew by and was a great time. Thanks!
Excellent day out on the boat with Capt. Charlie. We caught plenty of fish, threw some back in and had a good time. Capt. Charlie knew his fishing spots. Would definitely go again!!. Thank you Charlie.
Did a 8 hour trip with Captain Brad
The best trip we ever had Brad told us how to fish for gag grouper
We did great Brad is very experienced on how to fish and where to fish
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! 🎣❤️
