Fishing has been good for literally everything: Redfish, Snook, Seatrout, Black Drum, Mangrove Snappers, Jack's, you name it! Snook season is now open and we have been catching them. We supply large live baits for those who wish to target snook!

Our summertime live bait trolling has continued to produce fast action from a variety of species with king mackerel being the most dominant. In the mix we are catching nice size cobia, blackfin tuna and some bailer mahi. We are also getting some very nice bonus fish with a few large african pompano and wahoo being caught weekly. The calms seas and great fishing will stay consistent until our first tropical systems shows its face and that is typically late August but with a little luck maybe we will avoid that all together this year.

Redfishing has been strong the last few trips, but on hard, cold front days it is definitely more difficult to get them to eat. There are definitely Seatrout and Drum around if you are into it (I am!). Snook, Tarpon, Pompano, and a host of others are right around the corner in April as soon as we have sustained warm weather. April is really booking up, but we do have some dates still available, so don't wait too long!

Redfishing has been red hot! We have also got some nice Black Drum, Jacks, and even snook in the mix. When we finally get the sustained warmer weather, the snooker bite will improve drastically.

Fishing has been consistently good for Redfish and Sheepshead, with a grab bag of other species. Black Drum, Seatrout, Jacks and Mangrove Snappers have all been in the mix. If the weather stays warm, expect Snook and Tarpon action to heat up quick!

Redfish are still schooled up and the large trout are getting on the flats in the warmer days. The schools of big black drum are still around as well. Fishing has been good!

    Captain Rick was wonderful! We had a lot of fun and caught a variety of fish. Rick was so flexible, he went above and beyond to adjust our fishing trip to accommodate the weather and give us the best experience we could have. He was knowledgeable, easy to chat with, had our poles ready to go, and lots of bait. We had some extra time so he gave us a tour of the cape. My son had a blast. Definitely plan to fish with Captain Rick again!

    We had a great day with captain Todd despite the windy conditions. Extremely knowledgeable and he taught my grandson how to walk the dog on his first cast. Looking forward to booking with Todd again.

    Cody was great. He was fully prepared and ready to go as soon as we pulled in. He had a great spot and we caught a bunch of fish. My son’s 13th bday present and he caught 3 snook. His first time salt water fishing and Cody made it great for him. He was quick, knowledgeable and a great guy. Will for sure book again.

    Our fishing trip out of Port Canaveral with Captain David was absolutely fantastic! Me, my daughter, and fiancé had an amazing time. He had us catching fish from the very first stop. This was my 12 year old daughter’s first boat experience. She loved it. Even with a little wavy action rocking her to sleep a little, she loved it and had a wonderful time. Beyond catching fish, we were treated to some amazing wildlife sightings as well including a manatee, birds, multiple barracuda (I caught one of them), and even a massive 10-foot hammerhead shark that swam right under the boat. Captain David was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. I highly recommend booking a trip with him. We’ll definitely be back!
