Tuna fishing has been great when the weather allows. Catching them on live baits, chunks and topwater around the oil rigs

Red snapper are still open on the weekends for the months of October and November on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During the week we were able to keep Vermilion snapper, Spanish mackerel, King mackerel, and the bite has been very consistent. Book your trip while you can, life's too short not to go fishing!

Oddly enough, the best fishing here is when most of the tourists are not!

Red snapper open on Fri, Saturday, and Sunday until November 30 th. The mahi should come back to my fads soon, provided we don't get any big storms for a bit out in the Gulf. Plenty of action with the light tackle bottom fishing. Red fish, mangrove snapper and Spanish mackerel in the bay are hot!

The bite was pretty good with vermilion snapper. Red snapper opened back up on the weekends and has been spotty. We caught my first small sailfish a few weeks ago.

We definitely had a good trip with Captain harold. He put us on fish all day long on our 10hr trip. We caught a lot of fish between the 6 of us at every location captain harold stopped us at. We recommend this guide to anyone who wants to have fun catching fish.

Trip: Red Snapper And Grouper Fishing!!!

★★★★★
Was a great experience for my inexperienced family. First we caught bait fish jigging a little offshore. Using a 5 hook rig almost every time we hooked multiple fish. Catching 4 to 5 was not uncommon. Then we went about 8 miles offshore to fish in about 90’ of water. Everyone caught fish. Just a note that catching a 24” amberjack in 90’ of water will wear a person out. Though we caught lots of fish only had 3 of keeper size. My entire group said they would do it again.

We had a great time with Jonathan. He was patient with us three amateurs and put us on some nice redfish. My grandson who is 7 had a blast catching his first redfish. Thanks again.

Trip: Fall Inshore Fishing Trip

★★★★★
Honestly, we were very disappointed in our trip. The beginning was fine. As time went on, David ‘s language was a bit rough with choice words that we didn’t need to hear. His driving of the boat in rough water was way too fast and both of our backs are still hurting a week later . And we may be a bit older- but both in good shape. At the end of the trip- just had us casting in grass. Never been on a trip where at least cold bottles of water weren’t offered or available . Would never recommend. Expensive trip for a few fish and not as we have experienced before on other fishing outings. We did give a nice tip 20% because that’s who we are . Wish him the best in the future.
