sLast few weeks have been hot. Lots of Spanish Mackerel still running. We won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for a sweep in the inshore competition last weekend. Seeing Mahi starting to come in, some big grouper, big red snapper, a couple big redfish caught offshore of all places. All in all the fishing is great right now.

Spanish mackerel have been and still are the easy fun target. Trout and redfish are still getting better and better. Light tackle bottom fishing has produced nice catches of vermillion snapper along with some big red grouper and a variety of other keeper fish like lane snapper, scamp grouper, and trigger fish.
Cobia are finally worth taking a longer trip to go look for along the beaches in 20-40 feet of water. It only takes one 30-50 lb fish to make the trip a success!

The redfish bite is 🔥, only looking to get better as water temps rise. Trout haven't been as consistent just yet, we're getting a keeper here and there

Red Grouper and Vermillion Snapper are lighting it up! Already had enough meat in the cooler after the first Cobia of the year so we ended up releasing 4 nice keeper Red Grouper

This is from a 6 hour the other day we caught a bunch of mahis, and then I will send a group of pics from today we had a mixed bag of snappers and catch and release amberjacks.

I booked this trip mainly for my 12 and 15 year old grandsons to experience. Max was an excellent guide and really made sure the boys had a great time and caught lots of fish. I would definitely book with Max for future trips.
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.
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.
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.
Captain Richie did not disappoint. Party of 10 with 8 of us beginners, each came away with multiple catches! During our last stop, we encountered a school of Mahi Mahi. Captain Richie and crew tried to capture as many possible!! Will definitely book again!
