The fishing is about as good as it gets right now! The shallow water bite for redfish has been WOW! Shrimp under popping corks is the ticket fished along the mangrove islands on higher water. October did not disappoint and the bite should only continue with the cooler temps coming!

The shallow water backbay fishing has been crazy good past week. The cooler air temps have really turned on the redfish bite! Shrimp under popping corks has been the go-to set-up and producing good numbers and slot size fish! Trout on the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water have been chewing shrimp topped jig heads under popping corks. There have been a few slot sized fish mixed in but most have been right under slot at 14 inches. There has also been some quality bait schools along the beaches which have led to some good snook fishing as well. October is a great month to get out and fish in SW Florida. Come and get you some and let's bend some rods!

    Dominic was our captain. We had a wonderful time and caught a number and a variety of fish. I have a difficult time walking and getting out of the boat. Dom soent at least an additional 2 hours for my brother to locate a wheelchair and get me back on the dock. A true professional is Dominic!!

    Best fishing trip everrrrrrr! we got 9 snappers that we could bring home and eat! Besides those we could keep, we got countless amounts of small snappers we won a Guinness world record for the smallest snapper in our family history. Plus, we caught and released 3 catfish and a jellyfish! Thank you Captain Tim! (From the birthday boy :))

    Tyler is probably the best guide my wife and I have ever had. He was very attentive. He knew where the fish were and he was right there with bait or to get us un snagged or to help us pull in the big one you can’t go wrong with Tyler I promise.
