Spanish and king mackerel are showing up in good numbers, hogfish bite is heating up and cudas and goliaths on the wreck! Fall is one of the most fun times of year to fish, lots of variety!

The redfish have started showing up in consistent numbers this week. Pinfish on a small knocker rig up against the bushes at the first of the outgoing tide has been producing nice fish.

Gage was absolutely awesome. He knows the best places, setup my fly rod correctly for me. He gave me great instructions. I did get a hook in the mouth of a tarpon, unfortunately it shook loose. But would definitely do it again.

We had an awesome time with George!! He was so kind and accommodating to our special needs son! We were on the fish as soon as we left the bay and caught several keepers to try in the pan. I would recommend George to anyone that is looking for a good time with a highly knowledgeable captain.
