The Inlet has been on fire the past couple of weeks, basically every rod that gets wet hooks up. Primarily Bull Reds and Snook, while the mullet run is south of us we still have huge schools of Menhaden and other bait fish species. This action typically lasts through November so get down here and wet a line.

Well, we had a really good week with lots of big trout being caught as well as some really nice red fish Tarpon are cruising in large groups through the ICW and we’re starting to see larger schools of mullet pushing through the river systems. The next couple weeks can be some of the best Fishing of the year with cooler temperature starting to show up and cleaner water coming through the inlet. I have dates available.

The inlet has been red hot with a big school of redfish hanging around. Both slot fish and some bigger fish up in the 40"+ range. I've had a bunch of triple and even quadruple hook ups. There's been a pile of snook too with some big fish in the upper 30" range. They can be more finicky at times. Tarpon and jacks in the area as well. We have had some National Geographic feeding frenzies with schools of mullet the size of a football field getting smashed by these predatory fish.

Weather is kinda cooling down...well low 90s instead of upper 90s. Fish are firing off with redfish, snook, flounder and more... like an inshore/river kingfish (king mackerel) get it while the bite is good.

With most of my focus sight fishing and throwing top waters at first light we have mostly been catching Big Trout and Reds. We did get a couple of king fish in the inlet. Lots of Bull Reds in the inlet right now and for the next couple of months.

    We had a great day with captain Todd despite the windy conditions. Extremely knowledgeable and he taught my grandson how to walk the dog on his first cast. Looking forward to booking with Todd again.

    Great fishing trip with Michael! We had an awesome time fishing with Michael! He was a great guide, knew exactly what he was doing, and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We caught a ton of fish, but honestly, the great conversation and laid-back atmosphere made the trip even better. Michael was friendly, knowledgeable, and just an all-around great guy to spend the day on the water with. We had a fantastic experience from start to finish and couldn’t have asked for a better fishing trip. Highly recommend Michael! We will definitely be fishing with him again!
