The trout are starting to really pick up as the wintering months get coming on casting jigs preferably z-mans 3 inch minno Z's have been working very good. A long with that the sheepshead fishing is picking up around the structures around the inlet and outside the inlet in the ocean.

Cobia fishing has been great this September. We're catching them sight casting and bottom fishing. Trout and red drum have been very good since the water has cooled down, and the artificial bite has really picked up using zman 3 inch paddle tails in pinfish color. Trout and red drum will continue to get better as water cools down for october. This picture is Amanda VanDyke with a nice one!

    It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

    Thanks for the trip had fun and the first mate was awesome. He made sure the kids had fun and how to use all the equipment and educated everyone. The welds on the boat were spectacular. Captain took the time to talk with the kids and made it a great time. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the area. Thanks again Mark and Tom

    We had a memorable experience. While pre-ttip communication could have been better and the boat condition now versus photos on the website, we caught all we wanted. Good fun and Mate Tom was knowledgeable and accommodating.

    Trip: Summer Offshore Run

  • ★★★★★
    I booked this fishing trip for my wife’s birthday. Being workaholics, it’s the first vacation we’ve taken in YEARS. Captain Mike and Cody could not have possibly gave us a better time. Cody is friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything before the boat ever left dock. Mike is also incredible. Mike not only makes sure you’re going to find fish, he wants to make sure you enjoy yourself, and he genuinely cares about your safety. You can tell that these men are genuinely good people. We had a great time and can’t wait to book our next adventure with these guys. If anyone wants a great fishing experience, I would HIGHLY recommend these gentlemen!

    We had a great time inshore fishing. Joey kept moving us to different locations to find fish as well as communicating with other boats out fishing to know where to go. Everyone had a great time!
