Hey Trey. It's been all redfish the past few months. Most coming on a fresh dead shrimp on a jig head.

The sheepshead fishing is getting hot. The end of March and early April are my favorite times to catch the sheep's head. We have a lot of big fish that push into our river to spawn. The red fish bite is also heating up with these water temperatures getting warmer.

Redfish and trout are the name of the game right now! Water is warming up and the fishing is getting much better. Looking forward to a great spring

Captain Mike was awesome! He was actively watching the weather the week before and staying in touch with us. We decided to move the trip up a day to avoid 3-5 ft seas. We stayed out an extra hour even with the crazy cost of fuel right now. I caught 13 snapper alone and had 2 bites so big they broke the leader line. It felt like the rod was going to be the first to break. My friends loved the trip as well catching probably another 10 between them. We will definitely be back in touch with Captain Mike soon!

Captain Bill delivered a first class experience to a mixed crew of seasoned and novice anglers. He was able to connect with each of us in ways that made the trip memorable and kept all of us actively fishing throughout our six hour trip. I've booked trips across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Florida, and the Caribbean, and Bill is among the best captains I've chartered. He is a talented and dedicated professional who works hard to put his crew on fish for an excellent value trip.
