Snook bit has been on 🔥 and we are starting to get some good 30+ inch reds up in the trees. Shark bite staying consistent and if you want to fill the cooler with meat the mackerel and trout are plentiful.

We are catching plenty of nice grouper and hogfish right now. We are also taking advantage of the spring migration of Spanish and king mackerel. Plenty of big bites and good eats!

Had a great time with Captain Nick and Tyler! Took us to several spots and caught lots of different types of fish. Captain Nick spent time cleaning all the fish as well to be able to take home several bags of fish for dinner.

Dillon knows his stuff and is a great dude, also great with the kids (teenagers). We hooked into a bunch of trout, mackerel, grouper. I would definitely head out with him again and would recommend him to others.

Great fishing trip! Awesome guides. Pleasing teenagers and having patience with a 7 year old all at the same time is a big ask. Carlos and Jeremy were great and managed it all. They made a very memorable trip for our family. Will book again!
