The redfish bite is hot. 29", 33" and 26. Water temps are rising, 69-71 today, the fish are hungry. Today was catch and release as per my Fisherman. The bite should be good through May, depending on the weather.

Had to brag about the largest squirrel fish I've ever seen. Lol. Lots of red grouper, triggers caught had a few nice b liners they wanted to keep.

We had a great 4hr trip with Capt Max. Was a first time for my wife and daughter and they both were able to catch a lot of fish. We caught so many different types of fish and able to keep some grouper and trigger fish. Max is a friendly captain and we would definitely go out with him again.

My husband son and I had to best time on our fishing trip with Brandon. It was abnormally cold so I was a little nervous, but the trip far exceeded our expectations! Brandon went out of his way to make our son feel important and like a real fisherman. We can’t recommend this trip enough!

Had a great experience shooting coastal ducks for the first time! I booked the hunt for my sons birthday and he said it was best birthday ever ! Weather was nasty to start even snowed some but our guide Alex didn’t let spoil the trip. He worked his butt off to make sure we got some birds and we’ll definitely be going back.
