Sheepshead, Redfish and Black drum! The cold-weather critters are biting!! Catching a ton of tasty ones. If they’re looking to fill the cooler, this is the time of year to do it!

With this cold weather, nearshore is the way to go! Lots of sheepshead and catch-and-release grouper. Between fronts, inshore has been producing big jacks and decent numbers of trout.

Larger sheepshead have moved into Tampa Bay shrimp and fiddler crabs are the bait of choice. Speckled trout in the deeper canals and drop offs. Rock piles are holding sheepshead, key west grunts and some mangrove snapper

    Captain Phil was great and we all enjoyed the trip. The fish didn't cooperate at first, but Captain Phil moved us to another spot and we got better action. We had a miscommunication with the booking but Trey at Captain Experience was very helpful and we got everything worked out. Thanks Guys! I would book here again.
