Waters cooling down with the fall patterns along with shorter days the fish are fattening up for the winter months plenty of good inshore fishing for big redfish along with snook ,also look for the birds along the river and ldyfish ,jacks, and bluefish in the mix its guaranteed to bend a rod also try your luck at big sharks around the river system as well book a trip you'll be sure to remember this fall

The inshore fall byte, has been heating up. Lots of red fish Some really nice black drum, a few sheepshead and the occasional snook. It's been too rough to get offshore. The last couple of weeks, hopefully that will change soon. The bite should be red hot.

Trip: Nearshore/Inshore Madness
★★★★★
Taylor was a great captain who was a joy to fish with and put us on the fish. He's an easy going guy who, despite being a younger captain, already has considerable experience in Mosquito Lagoon. He was right on time, the boat was clean and well-organized, and spotted so many fish for us. Taylor is your secret weapon in the Lagoon.

Our group of 5 had a great experience with Scott, also known as “Steve”. It was a beautiful day on the water. Scott was knowledgeable and quickly responded when we needed him… which was often, as we were not experienced! We’ll go out with Scott again!
