The new moon had the tarpon firing off this week. The afternoon crab tides did not disappoint. We had some trips hooking fish into the double digits while other trips there were plenty of fish to go around. We still have openings for the full moon the next two weeks, don’t miss out on your chance at hooking up to the silver king!

We’ve also had a mixed bag inshore with some Cobia, giant trout and plenty of snook mixed on.

Nearshore continues to be productive with a variety of Snapper including Hog Snapper and Inshore proves to be productive with quality Red Drum and Speckled Trout. Book a trip and also ask me about "catch and cook" at local restaurants after I properly filet and package your catch. 🎣

Damn good fishing trip! Capt. Ryan and First Mate Kurt delivered a great off-shore fishing experience. Well-versed in the area, Capt. Ryan knew the best spots to help us nab our limit. We even grilled up some of our fresh Snapper for Fish Tacos! Highly recommended!

Scott was great. He licked us up on time. He accommodated our last minute request. He was extremely knowledgeable about fishing and went out of his way to make sure we all caught fish. Especially my son who is 12. Was funny too. Had a great time on the sea with him. Felt safe even with a kid on board. That was important for us.

Tyson had us on fish in less than 20 minutes. He taught us his method and, following as best we could, landed big redfish, snook, catfish, and even a tarpon! His experience, expertise, and sense of humor made this trip something that exceeded our dreams! Thank you Tyson!

Nick was very good. He seemed quite knowledgeable and was easy to talk to. Sadly the Tarpon weren't cooperating that morning. A few hits was all we had. We liked Nick and we would recommend him to anyone.

Our trip was great! You could tell they cared about our experience being amazing. The water was beautiful and they took care of everything down to keeping our lives baited and active. The captain even prepped our fish and sent us to a local restaurant that cooked it for us. Highly recommend!
