Catching mixed boxes every day. From small to big redfish. Lake is a little muddy and should start clearing up soon. The sheepshead bite is on fire right now as well starting to lots of speckled trout.

Lots of undersized redfish were caught during this trip. But they had a blast. Super windy day but found clear water and the redfish were munching.

We went scouting for flounder last week and ended up with a box of redfish for dinner. As the weather warms up the fishing will continue to get better.

The past few days have been on fire pre front and post front we have caught fish. Redfish beat down for this family outing. With some flounder and speckled trout. When the weather got warm the bite was crazy. We had two boats for this trip everything was caught on artificial lures.

★★★★★
Our day in Venice with Captain Rich was simply unbeatable. He tailored our time to catching the fish we hoped to catch and had prepared the gear and bait the way we prefer. He took us to some lesser-known, uncrowded locations where we caught our limit of redfish, several bulls and we could have done so all over again. A quick pass by another location yielded a trophy-sized triple tail also. My 11 year-old son was thrilled and had the best fishing day of his life so far! The guy is great, the boat is great and the experience will be long remembered. I strongly suggest you book with Rich when in Venice. "Fish on!"

We had a great time out with these guys. Hit a 2 man limit on drum on top of redfish and other species. Got to see a ton of wildlife. Very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. Would highly recommend.

What a great day. Me and my 2 sons fished with Captain Jacob and had an amazing day. Had 3 limits of red by 7:00 a.m. and continued to catch reds non stop for about another almost 2 hours. Even managed to pick up a handful of specks on the way in. Will definitely book another trip with him.
