Been on a fun early morning topwater bite. Snook, jacks , and tarpon on artificial and fly before the sun comes up. Once the bright of daylight starts to shine the fly and lure bite dies and we have been switching to live bait.

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 which make a great fight and picture!

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 at a good season!

    Captain Rick was wonderful! We had a lot of fun and caught a variety of fish. Rick was so flexible, he went above and beyond to adjust our fishing trip to accommodate the weather and give us the best experience we could have. He was knowledgeable, easy to chat with, had our poles ready to go, and lots of bait. We had some extra time so he gave us a tour of the cape. My son had a blast. Definitely plan to fish with Captain Rick again!

    Cody was great. He was fully prepared and ready to go as soon as we pulled in. He had a great spot and we caught a bunch of fish. My son’s 13th bday present and he caught 3 snook. His first time salt water fishing and Cody made it great for him. He was quick, knowledgeable and a great guy. Will for sure book again.

    Our fishing trip out of Port Canaveral with Captain David was absolutely fantastic! Me, my daughter, and fiancé had an amazing time. He had us catching fish from the very first stop. This was my 12 year old daughter’s first boat experience. She loved it. Even with a little wavy action rocking her to sleep a little, she loved it and had a wonderful time. Beyond catching fish, we were treated to some amazing wildlife sightings as well including a manatee, birds, multiple barracuda (I caught one of them), and even a massive 10-foot hammerhead shark that swam right under the boat. Captain David was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. I highly recommend booking a trip with him. We’ll definitely be back!
