Mid May is producing quality fishing for the Palm Beaches. Stellar conditions, light winds lots of sun shine and clean water.
Snook are on the move! Sight casting snook along docks and mangrove shorelines using live bait and DOA C.A.L. Curls tails get the drag screaming. Deep cuts and beaches are starting to hold fish as well.
Tarpon fishing is great in back country and in the intercostal. Live baiting tarpon best bet, but the DOA Terror Eyz also great bait to get the bite. Both sides of the tides are producing fish.
Great mix bag of species being caught...

As April comes to an end, the weather is hot and the fishing is too. Mild winds, clean water, and lots of bait are a recipe for successful fishing.
Tarpon are always on the radar for anglers, silver kings are abundant around mangrove shorelines and drop offs. Live boats free lined and Rapala twitch baits entice strikes. Moving water is the key to happy tarpon and happy anglers with a bent rod.
Snook fans, the bite is getting better each weeks as water temps warm up and baits schools start migrating in. Natural structures, docks and sea walls are all...

Snook fans, the bite is getting better each weeks as water temps warm up and baits schools start migrating in. Natural structures, docks and sea walls are all
holding schooling fish. Rapala twitch baits and live baits get the drag screaming.
While targeting snook and tarpon, anglers are catching many other species: Jacks, ladyfish, moonfish, snapper and many others. The highlight the past week as has been catching triple tail a surprise flounder.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

April has sprung and inshore fishing is hopping along as water temperatures warm and bait schools start to migrate to our local waters.
Tarpon fishing is fantastic targeting channel edges, docks, and mangrove shorelines. Schooling fish can be seen on the surface rolling, live baits and DOA Terror Eyz great baits to present to them. Both sides of the tides produce a good bite, tarpon are ranging from 5 to 50 pounds.

Seawalls and mangroves have been the hot spot for targeting snook. Live bait and Rapala twitch baits get the strike. Schooling fish can be found near heavy structures,
producing all four species of snook.
Freshwater bite has been producing awesome peacock bass action using Rapala twitch baits and live baits. Seawalls and docks best areas to locate peacocks. Clownknife fish are abundant along channel edges and bridges. DOA Terror Eyz great bait to produce many strikes.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

As March comes to an end, the heat is still on. Warm weather, excellent bite for snook and tarpon, recipe for happy anglers.
The warm water temperatures have the linesiders, chewing, striking, live bait, flies and DOA 4” jerk baits. Drop offs along mangrove shorelines and docks have been the main areas to tango with the snook. The past week provided all four species of snook for anglers, making for extremely happy, anglers and guide.

Tarpon aka “Silver king” fishing continues to thrive. Tarpon are roaming in schools along channels chasing bait schools. Rolling fish on the surface, give pinpoint
where to cast to get the strike. Live baits, flies and DOA Terror Eyz get the job done.
Small schools of jacks have also added to the fun for anglers. Rapala skitter walks worked along docks and sea walls create awesome explosive strikes. Those looking to catch a plethora of species, shrimp on the bottom will get the rod bent creating nonstop action for anglers.
Freshwater fishing is on fire, peacock bass, clown, knife, fish, and largemouth are all striking with a vengeance. Live bait for these fish is always a fan favorite, but Rapala twitch baits and flies. Will also get the strike. The bite will continue to stay hot as warm weather continues.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

tarpon are seen rolling on the surface making anglers happy as they cast in their vicinity.
Channel edges and holes have been holding a plethora of species. Jacks have been the highly prized catch, due to their drag screaming runs and relentless fight. Jigs and top water plugs have been great tactics for the jacks. Snapper, drum, mackerel are also in the mix.

    Trip: Iguana Hunting Insanity

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Ricky was an awesome guy. It was a full moon, rainy,windy type day and he did about all he could do to get us on fish. The only improvement I felt he could make better for his clients is having Right and Left handed reels onboard. Both of us felt awkward using left side handled bait casting reels.

    Trip: Iguana Hunting Boynton Beach

  • ★★★★★
    This was hands down one of the highlights of our entire trip! We had an absolutely amazing fishing experience and caught a TON of mahi-mahi! 🎣🐟 The boys had the best time and are still talking about how much fun they had. Chris and Robb were incredible—so friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and educational. They took the time to teach the boys throughout the trip and made the entire experience fun and memorable for our whole family. Afterward, they filleted all of the fish for us, and we were able to take it home and cook it that very same day for the entire family. It doesn’t get much fresher than eating the fish you just caught! It made the experience even more special. We made so many wonderful memories that day, and it’s something our boys will remember for a very long time. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, we absolutely recommend Chris and Robb. We would do it again in a heartbeat! Definitely the highlight of our trip! ❤️🎣

    Kenny and Joey are the true salty gents of Florida fishing. They know the reefs, wrecks, fish, bait, rigs, locations, tides and currents to get hooked up. I wouldn't use the Captains Charter to book them again because of the hidden charges. Tight lines!!!

    Ryan was our Captain for the day. He tried his best but no luck. The seaweed didn’t help. We had a couple bites on live bait but they avoided the hook. Maybe next time.
