Evening trips are hot right now for reds and trout. 20+" trout hitting the deck with the biggest so far being 28 1/4". It's pretty much nonstop action all night. This is the one day trip I ran last week.

Plenty of speckled trout and Spanish mackerel inshore and the nearshore bite is solid. Snappers are chewing when weather permits.

    GREAT TIME!!!!! Captain Kyle and first mate Ben made sure we had an excellent experience! We were celebrating a special occasion and the captain went out of his way to give us the best experience possible. My son and his friends had a blast! Ben made sure we were all ready to catch fish and was so helpful. Can’t wait to come back and do it again. Thank you captain Kyle and Ben

    Captain Trey was a great and entertaining guide for our West Bay half day trip. Caught plenty of speckled sea trout and reds. We did some interesting fishing up the West Bay Creek that connects to the Chactawhatchee Bay that was similar to Bass fishing and very productive. We caught our limit of big reds. Thanks, Captain Trey! Hope to see you again soon
