Fished inshore today caught a ton of trout black drum and whiting were some of the fish we kept caught over a hundred. Meanwhile the Offshore bite has been productive as well guaranteed to catch dinner. The Wahoo bite has been especially good on trolling trips

We have had some fantastic weather, and with the water cooling, the bite has been red hot. Nearshore Bull Reds, black drum, sheepshead, and, for the kids, the whiting are biting. Offshore Cobia, Grouper, Black Sea Bass. Trigger fish and plenty of Red Snapper.

Bull Reds The bull reds are fired up! We’re seeing big bruisers crushing bait around the deep holes and channel edges. Live mullet and cut bait have been the ticket. Bring the heavy gear—these giants aren’t playing around. Now’s the time to battle a beast! 💪🎣🔥

Wahoo and Grouper were biting this past week 60 miles offshore. Waiting on grouper season May 1! Big black and red drum at the jetties, along with lots of whiting.

    We had a great experience with Capt Mike. The communication leading up to the trip was professional and informative. We met Mike around 7 in the morning, he explained the day and the challenges of a cold snap. The air temp had dropped 20-30 degrees over the past couple of days. Mikes knowledge of the fisheries were excellent and we were soon putting fish in the boat. We caught 30+ fish to include some nice keeper drum. From the moment we got on the boat, Mike took great care of us and pride in getting up on fish. He even cleaned our fish and provided them to a restaurant to prepare for us. Great day on the water with Capt. Mike.

    We had a great fishing experience with Captain Mike inshore and in the marsh area. Mike knew exactly where to go to catch the big ones. All five of us guys had a great day and caught lots of keepers. We would highly recommend Mike

    Trip: Inshore Light Tackle Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Bill was good. We did order an inshore trip be he wanted to go offshore. Minimal bait. Had 2 small bags of squid then we used cut bait from what we caught. Most fish were not keepers but did reel in a bunch of fish. One amberjack. Kept a lot of fish for his dog.
