Fishing has been really good, even with the cold fronts coming through. It's not stopping the bite after these next few colder days are over; it will start to warm up, and the fish are gonna go crazy eating everything

Winter is in the air! Pompano are on the flats along with trout and jacks and a few flounder, and sheepshead are on the rocks and nearshore reefs. It’s a great time to get out and put some meat in the cooler .

Sheepshead bite has been really good and will only get better as these cold fronts move in. Targeting them near structure, pilings, rock pilings along the beaches. Using small prices of shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook and a pinch weight.

    Trip: Iguana Hunt With Iguana DOG!!!

    We had an amazing fishing experience with Captain Paul. We caught fish, and he taught us several fishing techniques. We even saw manatees and a stingray! We had a wonderful time. He also shared a lot of interesting information about the area. He’s super friendly, and we highly recommend him. At the end of our trip, he cleaned and filleted our catch, and we’re looking forward to enjoying it for dinner tonight!

    Amazing trip with Captain Bobby. He took us to 4 or 5 different spots, and plenty of fish at each spot. My grandson’s (7 and 10 years old) were fishing for the first time, and Captain Bobby was very patient and helpful with them. The trip exceeded our expectations!
