Been stuck in the bay this week because of weather. 27 and 25 inch gator trout have not disappointed. Grass flats have been the answer

The bite has been a little off the past couple days I think because of the full moon. We did catch an amber jack and a good size mangrove snapper out in the golf today. Last month was a great month for vermilion snapper.

    well worth the time, effort, money to do this trip exclusively with your family. 10/10 trip. I caught 20 fish and there were 7 other people. We kept some snapper, everything else were all thrown back in the ocean.

    ***** Captain Trey was very kind and knowledgeable - he went above and beyond to make sure our boys were able to catch some fish and have a good time - he had all of the equipment and we had a wonderful day on the water.

    Trip: Family Special - 22’ TranSport

  • ★★★★★
    Despite not catching anything big enough to keep, Jason made efforts to change locations and lures to give us the best chances. He expertly navigated pop-up storms and kept spirits high with a curated playlist. Even though we lost the "big one" as it snapped an 80-lb test line while darting under the boat, we had a great time and would fish with him again. The inclusion of a toilet on the boat, though small, was invaluable for our party of 4.
