Redfish bite is really hot... along with trout and snook in Ormond and Flagler. As for Port Orange the pompano, snapper and many others are chewing.

Been getting better in the Ponce inlet area with wind and swell coming down a bit. Still plenty of sheepshead, slot Reds, a few trout and starting to see some mangrove snapper and nice flounder.

Capt. Neal was FANTASTIC. Our crew consisted of an old lady and two children (age 14 and 12) and our Captain knew all the best spots to catch fish…and where we could make a bathroom pit stop. He was informative and helpful as well as patient and accommodating. Adding to the adventure was the spotted trout we took home to make delicioso FISH TACOS!

Our outing with Nick was very enjoyable. He was professional, courteous and a pleasure to be with. He put us on fish and we had a good time on our 4 hr trip. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a charter on the Atlantic coast. We will use Nick again.
