It has been a hot summer so right off the bat, if you've fished with us recently, we commend you! We have remained pretty busy getting folks out fishing and producing some great catches!
Throughout the month of August on our longer trips we have been happy to still catch
American Red Snapper as our season goes through August 24th. The dates apply to charter-for-hire vessels with federal reef permits only, so if you want to catch red snappers with one of our experienced captains, book a 10-12 hour charter before then!
August we have also enjoyed catching and keeping amberjacks and some gray triggerfish as they are open this month only and will close September 1st. September 1st we will see the opening of gag groupers as well as Captain Steve's birthday! 8+ hours are recommended for gag groupers and they will be open through November 10th.
On our 4, 5, and 6 hour charters we are excited to see that trolling bite pick up as we have been catching spanish mackerel, bonita, and barracudas. Generally the king mackerel will start to migrate down our coast sometime in October.

July started off with a BANG! Fishing has been outstanding for the most part. The majority of what’s been biting are snook, mangrove snapper, seatrout, silver trout, Spanish mackerel, sharks, and a few redfish. Sure, there have been a few days where the fish bite has been slow, but that’s why it’s called fishing.
If you’re looking to keep some fish for dinner, the only species that’s closed to harvest right now is snook. Other than that, putting fish in the box has been a given.
So, if you’re looking to catch dinner or just catch and release, book your adventure today.

The next 2 months thru mid August, with such a diverse range of fishing opportunities and an abundance of species, anglers of all skill levels eagerly embrace the call of the waters. Whether it’s the allure of landing a massive ARS, the excitement of the ongoing spot run, the pursuit of elusive Gag Grouper or the challenge of reeling in a Cobia or Wahoo, the Tampa Bay region - Gulf of Mexico offers an unparalleled offshore fishing experience.
As the summer progresses, anglers must stay informed about regulations and restrictions to ensure sustainable fishing practices.
Ideal temperatures, calm seas and light current all add up to a formula for some tasty snapper dinners.

Hot summer means hot fishing
The water temps in Tampa Bay have soared into the upper 80s this brings extreme fishing to our doorstep . tarpon, Goliath, grouper and sharks are in the mix. Inshore. Fishing is still readily available. The trout have really rebounded nicely. After the big toxic
dump, we had here three marches ago. Still lots of them on the flats. The snook have moved to areas near deeper water, and we're still getting some great redfish in the back country . The mangrove snapper spawn is driven by the moons in the summer and we will get the biggest of the year
Late summer means to Key West time for us we will be in Key West from July 23 until the end of August with the dates available for lobstering offshore, reef deep, dropping and back country hit us up through Captains experiences to book your trip today . tight lines until next time Captain Phil

    Nick was great. Knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to. He took care of everything. The gear and live bait etc.. Although the Tarpon weren't hitting all that hard we did manage to land a Red fish and a Spanish mackerel. I would highly recommend Nick.
