The weather has been hot and steamy and the bite has been pretty good considering. Have caught some trophies lately and still putting good numbers in the boat with shiners. The bites a little tougher with artificial baits but we're still putting good numbers and good size in the boat especially for the season that we're in. Early morning trips are the best to beat the Heat and we're even doing some evening trips as well.

This has been the hottest boat out of Fort Pierce. Mahi have shown up as well as Blackfin Tuna. Sails are also being caught. Bottom fishing has been fire for Jumbo Lane Snapper, Cobia and Triggerfish.

Some of the biggest Blackfin Tuna we've seen in years. All taken on a new proto type lure that was designed by Mahi Maniacs lures here in South Florida. Our clients went 4 for 12 on these hogs.

    Unfortunately the Everglades had up to 3 inches of rain the night before, therefore the fishing was not good. He then hooked us up with Greg Hutch and we salt water fished the following morning. Had fun with both, just better fishing in the ocean.

    Amazing experience! Hunting hogs and catching gators with Charlie was fun, exciting and rewarding. He made sure we had a great time and got our animals. Couldn't have asked for a better guide.

    Reinaldo, was very communitive, checked with us three times to ensure we we would have best fishing experience possible. He was very forthcoming with his fishing techniques and knowledge of the river. The one thing both of us were pleasantly surprised about was that he not only provided an excellent guide service he fished with us, which allowed us an opportunity to watch his fishing tactics. He shared his knowledge which is greatly appreciated.
