Brian Soucy Fernandina Beach, Florida Reported: 9 months ago

Despite the Cold Weather Despite the weather being alittle chilly on some days the fishing has been pretty good. We have been getting some really nice redfish and speckled trout. On the days the weather was not freezing and we were able to get on the water the fish were willing to bite. Getting live shrimp has been challangingdue to the water temps, but mud minnows have worked just fine. Using the floating cork over structure has worked well. Also have been using a 1/4 ounce jighead on the bottom aslo produced.

Ended up catching our limit early on a rough day of fishing. Captain Billy’s knowledge of local fish activity was exactly what made the difference. Looking forward to fishing with him again

Trip: Amelia Island Inshore

Captain David was fantastic! His knowledge and expertise made for an incredible fishing trip. We caught plenty of fish, and he went above and beyond to engage our kids, teaching them about fishing, bait, and boats along the way. He took us to multiple spots and was determined to help us land a big one—and we sure did! We had an amazing time and are already planning our next trip with him in the coming months. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fabulous guide. We hit a perfect day, put a few fish in the boat, and I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with Chris, my kinda guy. Highly recommend you book with him.

Trip: 4-8 Hours Trip – Inshore
★★★★★
Excellent captain, and we have experienced many. Knew where the fish were and took us to them and we caught them. Enough to feed a family of 8. Knowledgeable, friendly, and not overtalkative, like some.

Trip: Amelia Island Inshore
★★★★★
Awesome experience with David. He is a great guy, easy to talk with, and a lot of experience. We had a fun time and caught plenty fish with David (and normally i never catch anything). We are already planning our next trip with David, couldn't recommend more!

Trip: The Awesome Island Experience!
★★★★★
Our family had a great time with Captain Scott! His first mate Jimmy was so enthusiastic and really wanted to help us all catch big fish. My young adult kids rated the experience an 11 out of 10. Overall we caught 4 King Mackerals (and a few sharks that we threw back). Scott recommended a local restaurant (The Salty Pelican) that would prepare our catch, so we enjoyed a delicious lunch after our morning on the boat.
