We've had an excellent Kingfish bite on the reef with some sailfish also snapping well when we are able to head off shore on longer trips. We are able to find mahi-mahi wahoo and a few blackfin tuna mixed in looking for offshore paligics Please book a three-quarter day.

Kite season is here! The water has cooled down as well as the air temp making ideal fishing conditions. Combine this with the prevalent East wind pushing debris and the Pelagic fish close to shore. The Sailfish have started to show up as well as the big smoker Kings. There have been random Dolphin close to shore with the occasional Blackfin Tuna in 200-350'. Bonita Tuna have been plentiful in shallow around 50'. The Cudas are everywhere out to 400' and we have been getting them deep on live baits. We are still getting Goliath Grouper bites although we haven't landed one in two weeks. We fought one for 2 and a half hours the other night only to get cut off on the shipwreck. Big Bull Sharks have been around, we released 4 last week up to 400 pounds. I love this time of year, it's not hot, it's not cold, the Pelagic fish are close to shore and next month the Swordfish bite is gonna get hot. Swordfish can be caught year round but the best time is October through February, I can't wait! We still have a couple openings for the rest of the week and weekend. Let's catch a Monster!

    I booked a fly fishing trip, for bones, with Capt. Ted. Capt. Ted doesn’t guide fly fishing, so he changed the trip to fishing with his son, Donnie. I believe this was a fail, on the part of captain experiences, since I asked for a fly guide and wasn’t booked with a fly guide. The trip was a disappointment. We seen no bone fish or any game fish except one baby tarpon. I received the “tourist” trip. I will not use your service again. Steven Fey .

    Trip: Everglades Fishing Trip 1/2 Day

    We had an excellent experience fishing with Captain Chad and his mate Ryan. From the moment we got on the boat, they were professional, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome. They worked hard to keep us on the fish, gave great advice, and made the entire trip fun and enjoyable. Captain Chad was knowledgeable and made sure we had a smooth, safe trip, while Ryan was extremely helpful and kept everything running perfectly. Their teamwork and customer service really stood out. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter experience, I highly recommend them. We’ll definitely be booking another trip soon!
