The redfish bite has been fantastic, also lately we've seen more mangrove snapper that I can recall in my 30 years experience. The flounder and sea trout bite has been pretty dependable lately. We appreciate your interest and would be glad to tailor a fishing trip to your preference. Thank you

The flounder bite has picked up on the offshore wrecks along with a good amount of sheepshead on the bridge pilings. Still a few red fish hanging around the grass flats

The trout bite has decided picked up over the last few weeks. Still a good amount of slot reds running the flats as well. Spanish bite was good but definitely started to slow down. Founder opens back up today so we will start targeting them the next couple months

Managed to venture out a couple times within the past two weeks. This past Tuesday, the bite was hot... caught fish on everything we threw.... popping corks and Carolina rigs tipped with live shrimp, plus artificial lures. They’re still biting good... little warm front has then fired up!

30a offshore.
We have wrapped up the October fall snapper dates. We continue to find quality fish despite the high winds and big seas. Everything from big red snapper, scamp grouper, big trash can lid triggerfish, bull vermillion, even rainbow runners.
The cold front that has came through has sparked off the kings also. Still waiting for the big run of the fall blackfin tuna.
30a inshore.
We are seeing the bull redfish still pretty consistently. Some days are better than others but they're still around. We are catching slots around docks and some of the drop offs. Flats in...

the morning for them and later in the evening. Still catching a few trout also. Hopefully in the next few weeks the sheepshead bite will pick up for us here in the Choctawhatchee.

The fishing has been a little slow for us but today it turned on hard. We had trout, gaff top, lady fish, bull reds and more keeping us on our toes. Used live bait and artificial. Today's bite was just awesome, here are a few pics.

    Trip: 30A Inshore Slam

  • ★★★★★
    I took my three adult children out for a 3 hour fish in the lagoon, and Captain Jeff and his brother Jason were fantastic hosts. The fishing was slow but they did put us on some red snapper and everyone caught a few fish. They were very attentive and were great to us all. I would certainly recommend fishing with them. The boat was comfortable and I had no complaints. I will certainly look to fish with them again. I give them 5 stars. Thank you Jeff.
