Reported: 2 weeks ago

Winter fishing continues to be strong. The slot redfish continue to be active and the sheepshead bite has picked up. While the total fish counts are less than summer, the caught fish are larger and frequently keeper size.

Great trip! Tony and his crew waste no time in finding the fish and getting you on the right spot to be successful. The first mates (Chris and Reed) were great, make it simple for beginners and get your fish cleaned up and ready to eat. Highly recommend the experience.

Trip: SUMMER Private Deep Sea Fishing 64'

What a great fishing guide! He made our 3 hour trip on the water a successful day to remember. We caught red fish, drum fish, and sheep's head. He cleaned, filet the fish, and packed them on ice for us. This captain knows where this fish are and treats the customers right! Thank you for a great experience on the gulf Captain Bobby. We will definitely be back to fish again and not with anyone else. Best guide ever!
