March is the true transition from winter into spring, and with it our fishery begins to come alive. What makes this time of year so special is the sheer range of species you can encounter. As water temperatures rise, opportunities expand both inshore and offshore, and the next few weeks are when things really start to happen.
Our inshore fishery will change dramatically by the end of this week. With a steady warming trend, we’ll shift from shrimp to live pilchards, opening the door to some of the best backcountry fishing of the year. Snook, Redfish, and juvenile Tarpon become...

Our inshore fishery will change dramatically by the end of this week. With a steady warming trend, we’ll shift from shrimp to live pilchards, opening the door to some of the best backcountry fishing of the year. Snook, Redfish, and juvenile Tarpon become increasingly active as they push back into the shallows after winter, making for exciting, visual fishing in calm conditions.
Offshore has already been stellar and is only getting better. Hundreds of permits have shown up early this season, along with plenty of barracudas and amberjacks to pull on. We’ve been feeding the AJs flies and artificials, creating some epic topwater eats. Cobia should begin to show soon, another strong kingfish run is upon us, and the snapper bite has been phenomenal. This time of year, we can chum them up near the surface—a bonus when we’re already surrounded by action, and they make for incredible table fare.
As we move into April, all eyes turn toward the arrival of the silver king. Tarpon and Permit will be our primary targets throughout the spring and into early summer.
March is already nearly full and April isn’t far behind. We’re looking forward to an epic spring with our clients—feel free to reach out with any questions about upcoming trips.
Happy fishing

6/5 stars. Amazing experience, wonderful guide. Badass dog. Brought home a trophy and my son got to have a one of kind experience. Logan is as good as it gets.

Awesome trip in every aspect. Logan is a top notch guide, not only does he provide an incredible hunt, but he’s one of the most personable guides I’ve ever met which really makes the experience feel like hunting with friends. From the top of the line equipment, to his dog Kona being one of the best behaved and responsive retrievers, he’s the only guide you should book with.

Drew is a great captain. We tried for some larger snook, got a couple big ones on the line, but due to user error didn’t get them in the boat. We also got some snapper, trout, lady, cat and some other small ones. He was at the ramp early with fresh caught bait. He shared stores and we made good friends with him before we left.

Fantastic experience! Captain was extremely accommodating. Tons of Action and a nice bag of game to take home and eat.. top notch equipment the guns are real deal too of line. We’ve been coming to Estero 1-2 times a year for 10 years and so a trip every time and I’m glad I finally found someone I can book every year and have a great experience! Can’t say enough.

Captain Tim is hands down one of the best charter captains you could ask for when it comes to inshore fishing! He knows the water like the back of his hand and has an incredible ability to know when and where the fish are going to be. He handled our group of six with ease, making sure everyone was taken care of, having a great time, and, most importantly, getting the opportunity to catch fish. Keeping six people fishing and having a successful trip is no easy task, but Captain Tim made it look effortless with his experience, knowledge, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a captain who knows his waters, puts you on the fish, and makes sure everyone has a memorable day on the water, Captain Tim is your guy! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable inshore fishing experience!
