Last week brought very windy conditions for our local waters, cool front passed through bringing 40 knot winds and showers.
Targeting snook was mainly done around leeward points and cuts due to the winds. Smal fish were caught near docks and drops offs. Live baits and DOA Curl tails bait of choice.
Gusty winds made it fun for fly anglers, but that’s when night fishing comes into play. Dock lights and bridges areas to locate snook, tarpon and many other species. Small deciever flies and live baits get the bite.

Channels and drop offs offer a plethora of species for anglers to target using shrimp and small buck tail jigs. Snapper, drum, jacks, mackerel, and my other species put a bend in the rod.
Well that is the fishing reply for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!
It's spawn time in Okeechobee, waters high, Okeechobee is fishing small though. The fish are ganged up in certain areas. Good thing is, it's a really picturesque place to fish! Crappie are biting as well... some good ones too, slabs!! The senko bite and chatterbait bites getting hotter by the day for largemouth on okeechobee!! Local canals are doing well, even after the cold snap that caused a fish kill for cichlid species. Bass, peacock bass, and clown knifefish are all biting really well on both live bait and artificials."

January was a wild month hot, cold, windy, calm we experienced it all. So many different conditions led to many different species and situations to target fish. Lots of bent rods and smiles.
Snook fishing was great the past week lots of small fish but an abundance of them along with multiple Spector snook being caught. Mangrove shorelines, docks and bridges all areas holding linesiders. Live baits, Rapala twitch baits and flies all got the snook hooked on the line.
Schools of jacks, mackerel, bluefish, blue runners and many other species made great rod bending action. Shrimp, bucktail jigs, DOA...

Had a great day with Captain Jose! We fished the Everglades and caught large mouth bass, cichlids, and even a peacock! Thanks Jose you are a great guide, very knowledgeable!
Brad was great captain and provided an awesome trip! He took the time to explain his rigs and allowed me to do more than just reel in the fish. I would not hesitate to go with Brad again
Had a great trip all around, good vibes! Captain Calvin was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Put us on a lot of fish and was very professional. Can’t wait til next time!
Great fishing trip. Took my husband and our two kids ages 11 and 13. Mike was so great with the kids teaching them how to reel in the fish. We caught so many fish! Such a great experience!
We had a fabulous trip with Captain Bill and Porter. We built great memories and we all caught a fish. The boat was well maintained and fit all 9 of us very well.
