Florida Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Florida
Lake Okeechobee has been a little on and off lately. Water levels are still low overall but are slowly coming up. We could use some stable weather to really get things going. Once conditions settle in, expect the bass bite to fire up.

St. Lucie River • Indian River Lagoon • St. Lucie Inlet
On the last day of summer, I've got some pretty good news from the water.
The river looks good. There's bait everywhere, we're seeing a lot of fish, and tonight at midnight SNOOK SEASON OPENS!
Anybody looking to eat a fresh Snook dinner?
Well, you've either got to catch one yourself… or know somebody who does. Snook aren't something you're going to walk into the grocery store and buy.
Here in the Indian River Lagoon region, recreational Snook...

Well, you've either got to catch one yourself… or know somebody who does. Snook aren't something you're going to walk into the grocery store and buy.
Here in the Indian River Lagoon region, recreational Snook harvest opens September 1 and runs through December 14. You can keep one Snook per person, per day, and it has to measure at least 28 inches and no more than 32 inches total length.
Anything smaller or bigger goes back to fight another day.
And remember — that 35-inch monster might make a great picture, but she doesn't make dinner. 📸🎣
🐟 ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO CATCH SNOOK
Live mullet. I love fishing a live mullet along a seawall during an incoming tide or during the first hour or two of the outgoing tide.
I'll usually throw the cast net and catch a few, then keep them alive in my livewell. A five-gallon bucket with a lid and bubbler works too... And trust me on the lid.
Mullet have an impressive ability to discover freedom the second you're not looking. 😂
Make sure you're fishing stout tackle with a strong leader. A good Snook isn't going to politely swim toward the boat. She's going to smoke the drag and head straight for the nearest dock piling, seawall, mangrove root or underwater obstruction.

Kevin is a great guide. Very knowledgeable of the area waters and a genuine pleasure to talk to. He put us on the fish in no time and we caught our limit of snapper along with a bonus snook and jackfish. I highly recommend him for your choice.

Wonderful Trip! First charter we have ever been on and couldn't have asked for a better morning! Captain Tim is 10/10 guide, knew the perfect spots to be, great at coaching, and great taste in music. Tim cleaned the fish for us and everything. Will 100% be booking with Captain Tim again.

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!
