The weather this last week has kept us confined to the bay, but large numbers of reds and black drum still roam around inshore. All the fresh water has pushed the flounder out a little but that is starting to ease up some. On the days we have been able to get out front to the oyster reefs and cleaner water, the big trout (18"+) are feasting!!!

Flounder moving into the bay real good, reds are feeding up, and the speckled trout are gorging themselves getting ready for the next spawning cycle. 18-22" trout can happen on any cast and is getting more likely every day. On the days that we get decent seas the nearshore trout fishing is phenomenal!

Speckled trout are starting to run the beaches and near-shore reefs and we have been stacking them up when the wind allows. Flounder are migrating into the bay in better numbers. Redfish are still roaming the shallows. Bait shops are starting to have live shrimp more often, allowing more consistent catches. We are entering one of the best fishing times of the year on MS Gulf Coast!! We just need people wanting to fish!!

Captain Drake is excellent. The fishing trip was well planned out and he took great care of us. Very fun and casual conversation as well. We took home LOTS of fish
We had a lot of fun. Captain Dave was a wonderful host and guide. We will certainly go out him again. In the meantime are really going to enjoy the fresh seafood we caught.
Mackie was the man! We caught over 200 fish on the trip for my bachelor party. We had a great time and they told us exactly what to do to catch them! Would 100% recommend to anyone!
I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I would have this moment for a lifetime for my memories and for my future children to see I will always recommend captain Mackie in this company, very accommodating, very polite, and I appreciate his expertise.
