Reef fishing has been consistently good with constant action on the yellowtail bite and a few good groupers. Inshore fishing has been steady with the lane snapper bite this week. We have had some fun night fishing trips catching sharks and loading up the cooler with snapper as well.

This time of year with the colder weather we have been targeting Speckled sea trout and pompano in the basin's. My last few trip we had a great bite with the trout including the photo of a 21" trout. A few pompano have been caught as well. Hopefully that bite will improve after this most recent cold front, also catching some big barracuda up on the flats which is typical for cooler winter days.

Tunas showed back up when the blue water came back in. There have been some kings around and a sailfish here and there. Had some beautiful dolphin and grouper at the end of last month.

Yellow Jack fishing has been very consistent over the past few weeks. Live bait such as pinfish or pilchards has been producing best, but anglers are also catching them on bucktail jigs and topwater lures. These hard-fighting jacks put up a great battle and are excellent table fare.
The inshore snapper bite is red hot right now. Using live or cut bait, anglers are catching plenty of legal snapper in the shallow waters.
A few cobia have started to show up, but the large numbers we’ve seen in recent years haven’t arrived just yet.

The Fishing has been amazing lately! With nonstop Cobia action in the gulf and fishing behind the shrimp boats for blackfin tuna and Bonitas as well as Fishing the Rex for mangrove, snappers, mutton, snappers and lane snappers. Lately the cobia’s have been good size. With the largest so far being 54 pounds.

Reef and inshore bite have been steady with consistent action fighting mangrove and yellowtail snapper with the occasional grouper. We have a great time the past two weeks fishing for dinner with these families!

Sean was a guide who puts anglers safety at the forefront of everything which all anglers should appreciate. Unfortunately one of our two days was blown out due to weather. He persevered trying to put us on fish until the weather became too unstable. He has 30+ years of guiding experience in the area. Enjoyed our time with Sean.
Our trip with Aaron was enjoyable even with the choppy waters. Aaron’s boat was extremely clean and we felt safe aboard. He had radar/fish finder there to help pick a spot and dropped in some bait to entice the fish. He helped bait hooks for us which was very appreciated even by our more experienced angler. We caught mostly yellowtail and they were fun to reel in. Lines were snapped by some bigger fish so we’ll always tell the stories of the ones that got away! Thanks for helping make the trip happen.
We had an absolute blast on this charter! Captain Paulie is a great captain. He put a lot of effort into making sure we were catching fish and enjoying ourselves. I highly recommend him and would go again.
Fished with Capt Zac B for the second year in a row, he puts us on fish every year. Fished with my wife and daughter this year and had a blast pulling on sharks, grouper, snapper, etc. my daughter caught 7 different species.
We had an amazing lobstering trip with Captain Paulie! He made the whole experience really fun and was also very informative throughout the trip. We checked a couple different spots and ended up getting plenty of lobster, which made it even better. He even cleaned everything for us afterward. Such a great experience from start to finish, and we would definitely recommend him!
We had such a great fishing trip with Captain Forrest! We tried a couple different spots, and the fish were biting a lot, so there was plenty of action. We even got to see a barracuda, which was really cool. Captain Forrest made the whole trip fun and enjoyable, and we had a great time out on the water. Definitely a good trip and would recommend!
Great trip with Capt. Allen. He was all in on getting us up to speed. It could have been a day of shirts, but Allen was dedicated on getting us on some keepers. Great day, great trip, great Captain!
