We have been having some drag screamers that my clients have had to fight to get snook and redfish away from the mangroves! We have also been catching some nice keeper trout and mangrove snapper. All of these are being caught on scaled sardines, pinfish and shrimp.

THE DOUBLE JIG-RIG WAS ON FIRE 11/3. Double heading on the double rig, to a ''measly'' limit of Speckled Trout, and then. FILLING the BOX with Yellers, (Weakfish, the other Trout, with NO limit, till having to leave them still biting, (specks and weakfish).

DO NOT show up in July, and think action on ''box fish'', happens like this.
Water temp INSHORE now, 72-73, salinity back to normal after the week+ of rain.

NEXT UP: 18 YEAR ''loyal regular'', Traveller Bob, for 2 days...fillin the box!

Become a regular, like Bob. And become like family. That's how this Business works....

With water temps dropping the bite is only getting better. The snook are slowly moving into their back bay happy areas. The redfish bite is red-hot and the bigger fish are starting to show up more often. Almost every flat that holds bait fish is holding good numbers of speckled trout. And pompano are not far behind. We're seeing pompano skip in the boat wake as we enter and exit the areas holding the best trout. Cooling water doesn't mean we're changing tactics too much yet though. We're still loading the well will fresh greenbacks every morning before our trips....

Had a half-day out this morning with a couple from Maryland — redfish, sheepshead, spotted sea trout, bluefish, plus three stingrays and two sharks. Sheepshead are starting to turn on as the water cools, and the redfish bite's been steady on the Pine Island and Matlacha grass.

Captain Troy was fantastic!!!! He got us on tons of fish. First time deep sea fishing and what an experience!!!! All four of us hooked onto mahi mahi at the same time and were so excited!! Dereck, the first mate absolutely worked his tail off keeping bait on all lines and helping us haul in allllll the fish!!!! We caught black fun tuna, mahi, and even a wahoo! Banner day, couldn't have asked for a better fishimg charter. If you dont wanna be disappointed book Capt Troy and the Miller Time boat!!

What an awesome experience. Kevin is fantastic! He knew the water and the fish and we had an amazing experience. Caught snapper, ladyfish, jack, snook, and even pivoted quickly to a lemon shark when we knew one was near by. It was a memorable adventure and I would highly recommend Kevin! Kevin also knew the area well and we went to the Lazy Lobster to have our catch cooked. So much fun! Thank you Kevin!
