After that chilly spell! We were thrilled to catch some great snook after the water temperatures dropped. Anglers Mike and Eloy had a fantastic 6-hour adventure in Everglades National Park, using artificial lures, and they caught several nice snook and redfish.

After a back-to-back cold front and a pretty nasty die off with water temps in the 50's, things have finally started returning to normal. Reefs and wrecks turned out a solid mackerel bite, a decent yellowtail bite, and plenty of muttons in the shallower reefs . Even had some surprise...

Bayside has been very productive on the mangrove snapper front with some nice-sized fish for the box and plenty of action as well.

Father and son duo, Bill and Jackson, caught several over slot redfish and a few black drum on a recent trip to Flamingo in Everglades National Park. Kenny Brogan from Jumping Branch, WV came down to get out of the cold and caught some quality backcountry fish, all on artificial.

    Great day with Ken! Had a blast kept us in the fish all day long. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be booking him again on our next trip.

    Trip: Islamorada Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We went out on a day when weather conditions were less than ideal and honestly I wasn’t sure we’d see much action at all. Despite the conditions, Captain Bill’s fishing and boat knowledge kept us in the game. The highlight of the trip was catching a 140lb lb Tarpon, the fight of a lifetime. If you are looking for a local guide who knows his craft, works hard, and has an easy to talk to personality, I would highly recommend Captain Bill.

    Jim was great! He was a wealth of knowledge and put us on fish all day long. Was very patient with us beginners, and helped us pick it up quickly. Conversation was great throughout the trip, we talked all about fishing, travel, and the Keys. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great day of fishing while in the area!
