Last week got unexpectedly busy with lots of fish biting!
Snook are in their annual spawn and fortunately for me it takes place right off the beach 🏖️, my wheelhouse. The snook are big and hungry and the most effective method of targeting them is sight fishing large live baits 🎣. It's a blast and most charters don't do this because it would be difficult to chase from a boat. They don't often use the same baits that I use because it's not a standard bait you can buy and absolutely wreaks havoc on big snook. My style offers a...

unique and adventurous twist to guided fishing tours.
Other species like Seatrout, Black drum, Pompano, Sheepshead, whiting and ladyfish are also cooperating.
With the mid summer underway, I recommend getting out earlier like 8 or 8:30AM to beat the heat 🥵.

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.

The bite has been on fire from the shallow mangrove lined flats to rock pile fishing in the bay. We have been using live bait catching snook, trout, redfish, mangrove snapper and more!

The bite has been on fire lately. We’ve been putting clients on mangrove snapper, lane snapper, red grouper, gag grouper, and even a few surprise tuna on the nearshore grounds.
The recipe has been simple: shrimp, pinfish, sardines, and greenbacks have all been getting the job done. Every trip has been a little different, and that’s what makes this time of year so much fun—you never know what’s coming over the rail next.

    CPT Logan is an awesome young man. We fish 6 or 7 holes. We landed at least 2 fish per stop. We caught Snook, Reds, Black Drum, Sheep's Head and Mangrove Snapper. We landed over 14 fish of 5 different species in less than 3 hrs. What a day. I'll definitely be back to fish w him again.

    What an unforgettable experience!! We had so much fun and caught so many fish with Captain George- I’m also pretty sure he might actually be a fish whisperer! He was so personable and accommodating. We have fallen in love with this area and can’t wait to come back next year- and you can bet that we will definitely be booking another fishing trip! Thanks for the memories, Captain George!!
