Fishing has been on fire. Clearer water. Schooled up fish. Abnormal amount of tailing on the flats. Recommend throwing small and lighter colored as they can be rather spooky. Maintaining distance from the fish is highly recommended. Prefer clear skies and midday low to take advantage of sight casting.

Some great nearshore bottom fishing the last several trips. Keeper Black Sea bass, triggerfish and vermilion snapper are showing up in numbers now that the water has cooled off.

Helping out the state with some EFP Snapper trips and there's plenty of those out there. We were done with our 24 fish snapper limit in under 30 minutes.

Fished inshore today caught a ton of trout black drum and whiting were some of the fish we kept caught over a hundred. Meanwhile the Offshore bite has been productive as well guaranteed to catch dinner. The Wahoo bite has been especially good on trolling trips

We have had some fantastic weather, and with the water cooling, the bite has been red hot. Nearshore Bull Reds, black drum, sheepshead, and, for the kids, the whiting are biting. Offshore Cobia, Grouper, Black Sea Bass. Trigger fish and plenty of Red Snapper.

Bull Reds The bull reds are fired up! We’re seeing big bruisers crushing bait around the deep holes and channel edges. Live mullet and cut bait have been the ticket. Bring the heavy gear—these giants aren’t playing around. Now’s the time to battle a beast! 💪🎣🔥

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Experience with Captain Anthony! 100% hands down, we highly recommend Captain Anthony! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and an all-around great person. As complete beginners on an inshore trip, he helped us catch so many different species of fish, taught us about each one, and made sure we had a fun and successful day on the water. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to come back again. If you’re looking for a skilled, patient, and genuinely enjoyable captain, book with Captain Anthony—you won’t be disappointed!

    Trip: 4 - 6 Hour Inshore Trip

    Captain Dan took us to scatter our mother's ashes at the beginning of September. He explained how the trip was going to proceed in a clear manner, and, included safety procedures. We felt comfortable and informed as Captain Dan took us to a beautiful spot for our ashes scattering. He allowed us to provide him with music in advance and then played it as we scattered our mother's ashes along the river it was very lovely and touching. Afterwards, he gave us a tour of the area were we watched the dolphins jump and learned a little about the history of the area. Thank you, Captain Dan for your thoughtfulness and making this special time memorable. We would certainly ride with you again.

    The best in the business!! We had the best time with Captain Frank. He was so nice and patient with us. The weather wasn’t great but he adjusted the plan and we still caught lots of fish and had a great time. You would have a hard time finding a better guide in the area. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and I hope we have the chance to go with him again. We learned a lot from him and I would highly recommend him for anglers of any experience level.

    Had a great time with Captain Bill! The weather ended up keeping us inshore but he made sure to let us know ahead of time so we could stay flexible. He made sure to find us a few spots where we could get on some fish.

    If you’re looking to have a great time, book with Chris! He and Kathy took excellent care of us on our first deep sea fishing trip. With his guidance on fishing and Kathy’s boat driving, we were able to catch quite a few fish. We will definitely be back!

    Captain Mike took us out a little over a month ago on two boats with Captain Steve running the 2nd boat for our family. These guys did an excellent job of putting us on the fish. Very professional and knowledgeable of the area. Caught several reds, trout, flounder and my daughter was lucky enough to land a tarpon. Would recommend to anyone looking to fill their coolers. Thanks guys for the great time and experience.
