Bite is getting very good. All this rain has dropped the water temperature significantly and has made both Instead and nearshore fishing start to fire off. Big snook, redfish and tarpon inshore. Cobia, flounder, snapper and grouper nearshore

Snook, trout and redfish are all in the mix right now with some larger fish mixed in.Healthy snook and redfish a being pulled out from under the mangrove tree lines. Live scaled sardines and pinfish have been the bait of choice! If you're looking for table fair you can't beat the mangrove snapper that are also feeding on scaled sardines and shrimp.

As things change to our Midsomer patterns. It’s all about the availability of the bait. That drives the fish bite. When we get the strong outgoing tides near the new and full moon, pass crabs are flushing out of Tampa Bay in big numbers. This is one of our favorite scenarios to catch Tarpon. It concentrates the fish and they are focused on those little crabs.
Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still...

seeing our share of Snook. And redfish the over slot speckled trout have moved out to the edge of the grass flats and have been super cooperative anytime the tide is moving.

The snook and seatrout bite is steady inshore, with a few nice redfish mixed in. Snapper bite is hot nearshore for anyone wanting to fill a cooler.

    We had such a great time on our fishing charter with Dillon! My kids and I had an absolute blast. We caught tons of great fish and learned a few fishing tricks too. The whole experience was so much fun & Dillon made it a great time from start to finish. It was the perfect way to have fun family time, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend this charter!
