Spring is springing. We have red tide on our beaches but the back water bite remains hot.

Bite has been solid the past week inshore for redfish, snook and trout and nearshore has been good up to 9 miles offshore for grouper grunts snapper and sheepshead last week when the wind has allowed us to get out there. Everything on shrimp because everything loves shrimp.

Cold water fishing!! We've been using shrimp for the last month now and the crustacean crushers are chewing good! Plenty of eating fish for our guests plus some fun catch and release groupers. Spring is right around the corner as pilchards are beginning to show up and we will be switching gears to snook and redfish! King fish season is knocking on the door too!! Book your adventure today!

Things seem to be finally warming up a little and the redfish, sheepshead and trout have been loving it. We even were able to find a few snook.

Some of the biggest Blackfin Tuna we've seen in years. All taken on a new proto type lure that was designed by Mahi Maniacs lures here in South Florida. Our clients went 4 for 12 on these hogs.

After catching about a dozen snook and a few smaller redfish, I told this angler that the big one is coming. On his next cast after releasing an average sized snook, he got the bite we were looking for. With big head shakes and hard fast runs, I knew this is the one he had came to Sarasota, FL to catch. This redfish went about 28lbs and over 39"

    Alex is a consummate professional; demonstrates the uncommon ability to banter with and keep kids on the fish while being relatable to adults. If you want your crew to experience a great time and remain comfortable, this is your guy.

    Trip: Bradenton Classic Inshore

    Amazing trip with Captain Bobby. He took us to 4 or 5 different spots, and plenty of fish at each spot. My grandson’s (7 and 10 years old) were fishing for the first time, and Captain Bobby was very patient and helpful with them. The trip exceeded our expectations!

    I had a great time fishing with Jesse. I am an experienced fly and spey fisherman from the northwest. My first salt water experience was fishing with Jesse. We were in Florida for a wedding. I spent one day fishing with Jesse. I learned a lot. Her provided first-rate equipment. He was patient with me as my muscle memory kept doing trout sets rather than strip sets. I would fish with him again.

    My family had an amazing experience. Brian was very personable and took us to some great spots. We caught some big grouper and lots of grunt fish. I would absolutely go back out on the water with him and his crew.
