Bartow, Florida
Reported 3 months ago
The fishing has been phenomenal lately, getting into our spring trends with higher tides and strong bite inshore. Snook, redfish, trout and tarpon have been the big targets along with Spanish Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, mangrove snapper and others. White bait is prevalent throughout the sound and that's what these predatory fish love to eat. Plenty of fun fights everyday fishing bar lines, grass flats and mangrove islands.

The fishing has been great the best few weeks with the warming water. Pilchards and thread fans are the Bait of choice.

Naples, Florida
Reported 3 months ago
This past week, the highlight for most trips, especially with the kids are the bonnethead sharks. Yesterday I believe we caught 10, and these young boys wanted nothing more than to see a shark. So how about 10?! Using light tackle with shrimp as bait, they put up a great fight and were great for the table as well!

    We had Dominick as our captain and he was fantastic. We didn’t catch a ton of fish but it wasn’t for a lack of trying it was just one of those things. We did catch fish just not a ton or anything large on this trip. Would definitely book again.

    We had an amazing fishing experience with Captain Paul. We caught fish, and he taught us several fishing techniques. We even saw manatees and a stingray! We had a wonderful time. He also shared a lot of interesting information about the area. He’s super friendly, and we highly recommend him. At the end of our trip, he cleaned and filleted our catch, and we’re looking forward to enjoying it for dinner tonight!
