Fishing reports straight from our guides in Florida
Last week got unexpectedly busy with lots of fish biting!
Snook are in their annual spawn and fortunately for me it takes place right off the beach 🏖️, my wheelhouse. The snook are big and hungry and the most effective method of targeting them is sight fishing large live baits 🎣. It's a blast and most charters don't do this because it would be difficult to chase from a boat. They don't often use the same baits that I use because it's not a standard bait you can buy and absolutely wreaks havoc on big snook. My style offers a...

My style offers a unique and adventurous twist to guided fishing tours.
Other species like Seatrout, Black drum, Pompano, Sheepshead, whiting and ladyfish are also cooperating.
With the mid summer underway, I recommend getting out earlier like 8 or 8:30AM to beat the heat 🥵.

As things change to our Midsomer patterns. It’s all about the availability of the bait. That drives the fish bite. When we get the strong outgoing tides near the new and full moon, pass crabs are flushing out of Tampa Bay in big numbers. This is one of our favorite scenarios to catch Tarpon. It concentrates the fish and they are focused on those little crabs.
Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still...

Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still seeing our share of Snook. And redfish the over slot speckled trout have moved out to the edge of the grass flats and have been super cooperative anytime the tide is moving.

The Ponce Inlet area had really been heating up. And I mean that literally. With water temps in the mid 80s many species have been pretty active. For the past two weeks we have had Kingfish (king mackeral) on the beaches so just about every drop with bait you are hooking up. This is great if you are targeting them but otherwise they are going to bite you off. Tarpon still very active with mixes of 20-40 lb fish and 100lb plus fish. Bull reds are increasing in size by the day with some nice bags of mangrove snapper and...

I fished with Dean from Bucks Graphics and his girlfriend Krista yesterday. Dean said he wanted to catch his first Snook and we checked that box first thing in the morning with a beautiful 32 and 3/4 inch drag screamer! Other than the Snook, the bite was a little slow in the morning, on a slow moving outgoing tide. However when the tide turned around and started coming in, things picked up, and Krista decided to put the hammer down on some quality Seatrout, including a pair of fat 22 + inch ones. Not bad for her first time fishing!...

Ran a scouting trip yesterday with my buddy John out into God's Country. Fished some areas I am not familiar with, which is always fun, and we were fairly productive. We caught about seven or eight Redfish, with the biggest coming in just over 32 in. Also caught some nice Seatrout, including John's fat 22-in piggy. At first we thought John had a Redfish on as it was pulling some drag until it came to the surface and we saw it was a nice chunky Trout. Her stomach was already stuffed full of bait fish, so she had no reason...

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!
