Fished 3 times during past 10 days. Odds are pretty good on over slot reds for next few weeks. There's been plenty of slot sized reds for the taking. Also, the speckled trout bite has been good and should continue through most of next month. This time last year, the big uglies/black drum were chewing and giving everyone aboard a run for their money! Speckled trout, blue fish, and Spanish mackerel are beginning to move in... another fun fish on light tackle

The trout bite is on! We are getting limits of trout the last few days. Good weather and good tides plus warm water have the trout bite at its peak! Using live or artificial baits, it really good.

Spring is king, but beach season is here as the gobbles wind down and crawfish disappear.

It’s now time to turn on your Jimmy Buffet and Kenny Chesney playlist and comes sit on the world’s most beautiful beaches!
Top water trout has really proven to be the best way to catch big keeper trout with this spring being especially good.
Schooling reds in the shallows have been regular visitors by my boat but with ultra clear water they are turning their nose up at lots of baits. Over slot (over 27”) fish have been very available cruising the flats so...

expect a big fight when you can get one of these pumpkins to eat.
We have lots to look forward too and it seems like this will be a summer to remember. So go grab a boat drink and a slice of key lime pie and come catch a few on the Emerald Coast.

    Captain Steve and his charter was top notch. He got us on the fish, he was very knowledgeable of the area and his charters are incredibly kid friendly. He made sure our daughter was able to get hooked up on the fish as well. 10/10 recommend every time.

    Trip: Panama City On Light Tackle

  • ★★★★★
    Great day on the water! Booked the Bluewater FAD trip and captain Jon worked his tail off to put us on fish despite sea conditions. The pelagic bite was slow, but we managed to put a few Mahi in the boat. Then Jon suggested we pivot to some deep drops for Golden Tilefish to finish the day off - that resulted in 13 tilefish hitting the deck to finish off the day.
