Redfishing has been strong the last few trips, but on hard, cold front days it is definitely more difficult to get them to eat. There are definitely Seatrout and Drum around if you are into it (I am!). Snook, Tarpon, Pompano, and a host of others are right around the corner in April as soon as we have sustained warm weather. April is really booking up, but we do have some dates still available, so don't wait too long!

Redfishing has been red hot! We have also got some nice Black Drum, Jacks, and even snook in the mix. When we finally get the sustained warmer weather, the snooker bite will improve drastically.

Fishing has been consistently good for Redfish and Sheepshead, with a grab bag of other species. Black Drum, Seatrout, Jacks and Mangrove Snappers have all been in the mix. If the weather stays warm, expect Snook and Tarpon action to heat up quick!

Overall the trip with Richard was excellent. My party arrived at the prescribed time and Richard already had the boat off the ramp and in the water. We loaded out stuff and off we went. The trip to the spot he selected took about an hour to arrive. He kept the hooks baited and provided suggestions and helped our youngest (11 yo) to hook fish and bring them it. Richard had a great selection of live and frozen bait that worked very well. Of the four of us each pulled in at least two fish with some getting more. Good selection pulled in with at least 4 different breeds of fish being kept which Richard prepared for us after we arrived. Well worth the money spent. The captain became a friend.

We had a blast on Captain Rick's boat. He took us straight out to a reef on top of wide open Mahi, sight fishing. Hes friendly, understanding, super knowledgeable, helpful and all around does it to make sure all types of anglers get an awesome chart with some big trophy catches. I would highly recommend getting on Captain Rick's boat for a fun day of big game fishing. Offers drinks om the boat. Filet, clean, and bag our catch. Next time we get back to the area, he will be our first choice for our next charter. Thank you, Captain Rick. Till next time!

Couldn’t recommend enough. Kenny was really knowledgeable, a great coach, had a great set up and made sure we had plenty of decent catches. We also got the opportunity to spot some local wildlife along the way. Would definitely book with him again in the future.

We had a great experience for our 1st time fishing salt water fish. Communication was excellent. Received confirmation email in less than an hour. Then followed our boarding pass via email. Rob also sent me a personal text w/ a choice of launch sites and a direct way to contact him. Phone or text. Very personal touch in my humble opinion. We met at the exact time scheduled. Then there was the fishing!!! We really never had a moment without action. Within 10 minutes we were catching fish. It continued until we ran out of bare. Took a quick detour & we caught some more bare. Just more fish to catch. I thought it fun. Went back to fishing. We were having a problem landing the really big ones. However, one memorable moment was when I had a big fighter on, then a shark came & ate my fish, cutting my line. What a fish story, but it's true! Rob is a great, friendly guy. Easy to talk/joke with. I highly recommend you try this, if even for 4 hrs like we did. The price for 2 people is well worth it! Try it yourself. Memorable trip.

Rick was great. We were tied to a one day trip due to work and the weather wasn’t great. Rick knew we couldn’t get out as far as we wanted safely and he worked hard to get us on fish of some kind even in suboptimal conditions. We didn’t catch a lot but we did catch fish. And Rick did his best to get us on the fish.

Awesome guide, put us on fish, re-tied quickly after multiple shark breaks. Went past scheduled time to put us on a 10+ pound fish to finish the day. Made for a great experience!
