Last week got unexpectedly busy with lots of fish biting!

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.

Other species like Seatrout, Black drum, Pompano, Sheepshead, whiting and ladyfish are also cooperating.

Fishing has been good before it gets to hot once the afternoon hits the fish have been a little slower so if a trip is to be booked I'd definitely recommend a morning or night trip
