Speckled Trout and Redfish have been really good over the last few weeks. The drop in water temperature has turned them on. Live shrimp under float rigs and artificials are both effective.

While the weather is cooling down, the fishing is heating up. Speckled trout fishing is really good with lots of slot fish being caught on float rigs and artificial. Sheepshead have been good but small. Better fish being caught over the last week. Sharks are a problem taking quite a few fish during the fight. Some reds being caught, many undersized and others too big. The temperature change should fire everything up. Let's go fishing!

Such a great experience! The captain had a great attitude and was really fun. The weather was a little off and very windy, but he still made everything fun. I appreciated his knowledge of the waterways and taking us through some different parts of the inshore areas. It was fun to see the shoreline from the water and we even hooked a few fish despite the weather. The whole group had a fantastic experience and I will be booking with Captain Bill again!

Cole was AWESOME! I went with my wife and 2 young kids (ages 5 and 7). He was very helpful and patient with them. We covered a lot of water as well as Cole navigated us to all the good spots. Thanks a lot for the knowledge and fun times, Cole !
