Last week got unexpectedly busy with lots of fish biting!
Snook are in their annual spawn and fortunately for me it takes place right off the beach 🏖️, my wheelhouse. The snook are big and hungry and the most effective method of targeting them is sight fishing large live baits 🎣. It's a blast and most charters don't do this because it would be difficult to chase from a boat. They don't often use the same baits that I use because it's not a standard bait you can buy and absolutely wreaks havoc on big snook. My style offers a...

unique and adventurous twist to guided fishing tours.
Other species like Seatrout, Black drum, Pompano, Sheepshead, whiting and ladyfish are also cooperating.
With the mid summer underway, I recommend getting out earlier like 8 or 8:30AM to beat the heat 🥵.

Recent Port Charlotte Reviews

  • ★★★★★
    Jesse was friendly, knowledgeable and was very helpful with a group of semi-newbies to this type of fishing. I’m not sure what other activities Jesse is involved in but I think he is a budding stand up comedian as well. We had three previous trips cancelled before Jesse jumped in at the last minute to save the day. Thank you Jesse

    He was amazing. I had several whinny kids with me and he was very professional, patient, and made it very fun for the kids. More than anything he instantly made me and the kids feel safe. He did an amazing job balancing safety and fun. This was an unforgetable experience. So happy we did it.
