The Redfish are on fire right now. We've had consistent enough weather to pattern the fish, and the water is warming up enough to keep them active. Topwater plugs is my favorite way to target these fish right now, but I'll also use swim baits and jigs. The Red Grouper bite was on fire this last week with the couple of good weather days we had, and the Vermilion Snapper and Triggerfish have been consistent all month. Red Snapper and Amberjack are easy to find, but until their season, we'll keep targeting other species. Spanish Mackerel are starting to get caught in the bay, but I expect it to be April 1st before the bite fires off.

With warming water temperatures and steady tides, the redfish are in full feeding mode. Early mornings have been prime for topwater action, with Reds crushing Zara Spooks and MirrOlure Top Dogs over shallow flats. As the sun gets higher, we’ve been switching to paddle tails in gold, root beer, and...

Early mornings have been prime for topwater action, with Reds crushing Zara Spooks and MirrOlure Top Dogs over shallow flats. As the sun gets higher, we’ve been switching to paddle tails in gold, root beer, and new penny, rigged on 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigheads for sight-casting fish cruising the oyster bars and creek mouths.

Fishing has been awesome lately! Spring is in the air. The last few trips have been great. Few of the guys got their first and biggest peacocks ever; another guy caught his PB largemouth. Everyone is catching and happy 😃

Offshore trips have been great. Less fish on the 4-hour trips and more fish on the 6-8-hour trips.

Matt Fueyo with Reel Tight Fishing Charters
Sarasota, Florida
Reported: 8 months ago

We've been back and forth between snook/redfish and snapper/sheepshead fishing. The cold front shut down the white bait, but the shrimp eaters remain hungry! If you're ready to jump on board and have some fun with us today!

    We had a great day on the water with Captain Phil. I took my 16 year old out with me who has little experience and Captain Phil was very attentive and made it a great experience for her. I would recommend Captain Phil for your next outing. They worked hard to ensure we had a great time.

    Trip: 4 Hour Inshore/Near 1-5pm

  • ★★★★★
    My wife and I and 13 year old son went on a six hour spearfishing tour with Torre and it was by far the highlight of our trip to the Keys. We ended up with a fridge full of lobster, snapper, cero mackerel and yellow jack and we turned it into sashimi, ceviche, lobster macaroni and beer battered fish. We saw hammerheads, goliath groupers and sea turtles. My wife and I had never spear fished before but we had a great time; much better than fishing. Torre was an amazing guide and clearly knew where to go and what to look for. Next time we’re in the Keys, this will be our first stop.
