Black Sea Bass have moved in to the closer nearshore ledges and reefs. All of this fishing is done inside of 25mi so no need to stay all day as the 6hr trip is perfect. They're very delicious to eat and you'll have plenty of bycatch between gag groupers, red...

Speckled Trout and Redfish have been really good over the last few weeks. The drop in water temperature has turned them on. Live shrimp under float rigs and artificials are both effective.

The cooler weather has the redfish schooling up. Low tide is 🔥right now. Caught over 30 reds with my clients Saturday. Trout bite is epic as well right now

Speckled Trout Fishing Heating Up These past few days on the water has been awsome. The water has cooled down some and the trout are biting. The trips have been getting numbers of 30 and 40 speckled trout with plenty of keepers for the dinner table. Rigging the rods with 10 pound Fins braided line with a slip cork, 20 pound floracarbon leader and a Eagleclaw 1/0 circle sea hook with a live shrimp has been great. The bite has been good on artificial baits too using the Bass Assasson Sea Shad in the lighter colors. There also have been some nice redfish being caught in the mix. Finding the structure such as oyster beds and pilons have been the ticket to getting on these fish

Such a great experience! The captain had a great attitude and was really fun. The weather was a little off and very windy, but he still made everything fun. I appreciated his knowledge of the waterways and taking us through some different parts of the inshore areas. It was fun to see the shoreline from the water and we even hooked a few fish despite the weather. The whole group had a fantastic experience and I will be booking with Captain Bill again!
