The fishing here has been pretty steady this past month. Redfish, black snapper, flounder, trout and mackerel have been plentiful. Offshore fishing has been great whenever we can get out there!

Time is here for those overnight tuna trips!!! clear water has mover in and tuna, wahoo, white marlin are working the deep water rigs. This is the time to fill the freezer. Do some deep dropping for grouper on the way out and work the tuna all night. Give us a call. We carry up to six people so less than a thousand per person for a 24 hour tuna trip!!!

The spanish mackerel , jack crevalle, and mangrove snapper have been caught inshore and a slight cool front just cooled the Temps down for us. We've caught big amberjack, mingos and Spanish mackerel offshore as well!

It's fall time and the inshore bite is heating up. In the bays we are still catching some great Spanish mackerel floating live shrimp with about a 1/2 ounce Carolina rig. Inshore, the trout and redfish are hitting suspending jerk-baits and plastics such as paddle tails or curly tails. Offshore,...

Offshore,
it's game on for big schools of skipjacks and Bonita boiling up. Look for any type of floating cover and you'll find schools of Mahi and triple tails swimming around it.
Now is the time to get those trolling plugs out and search for those trophy fish such as Mahi, wahoo, sails, and swords!

    Captain TY and Captain Chilli were really amazing. Just a really good time and they are great people to be around. Our group ended up catching 62 fish thanks to Captain Ty and Captain Chilli. If you’re looking for a great charter I would highly recommend these guys.

    Trip: Half Day Gulf Classics

  • ★★★★★
    My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.
