The redfish bite is very good, especially at higher tide stages. The baits of choice have been soft plastics on an eighth or sixteenth-ounce jig head. Look for schools of bait and start fishing there.

The trout bite has been good as well—it’s a bit of a hunt-and-peck approach. The same soft plastics are working, with colors like Golden Glow, Watermelon Red Glitter, and Kitchen Sink. Use eighth- to quarter-ounce jig heads.

Book a trip and we’ll show you firsthand.

The redfish bite is 🔥, only looking to get better as water temps rise. Trout haven't been as consistent just yet, we're getting a keeper here and there

    Captain Shaun went over and beyond to give us a good time. Made sure we caught some fish even though getting a bite was tough. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again on our next trip.

    Captain Larry took our Girls’ Trip ladies out for an afternoon cruise. We spent time leisurely snorkeling beautiful reefs then relaxing on the sand bar. The time went too quickly but we never felt rushed. Larry was very friendly and accommodating to our group.

    Brian was excellent at finding the best locations to fish and knowledgable on how to catch them. From the start Brian was quick to get to the action and was very helpful with first timers. Enjoyed the trip and would choose Brian again for future trips.

    Jose was a great guy to spend the day with. Fishing was slow so we focused on iguanas. Could have filled up the boat with them if we had done our part. Did manage to catch a few fish too but the highlight was definitely the 🦎.

    My guys had a great time on their fishing trip with Captain Nick! The trip was booked per my 10 year old son’s request, and he was accompanied by his step dad and grandpas. Nick was very pleasant and friendly, experienced, and treated my boy as one of his own. They all had a really great time and learned a lot during their trip. Thanks Captain Nick!

    Captain Branden was amazing! Our 14-year-old and his best friend went fishing with him, and both caught Mahi. After catching it, Brandon cooked it up for lunch. They said it was the "best fishing trip" they had ever been on (and they have done a lot). Will definitely book with him again. A great day!
