Fishing has been incredible. The speckled trout bite is extremely good. Put 35-40 in the boat on Sunday all 21-24 inches.

Fall fishing is as good as it gets right now. We are catching a nice variety of fish and in good numbers. Most days we are seeing speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and really big bluefish.

fall inshore fishing is well underway with an amazing mixed back bite. We are still seeing a lot of redfish, but the speckled trout and black drum have made a strong showing as well. Additionally the old drum bite is still well underway for those that are seeing a trophy catch.

redfish bite continues to be excellent. Our old drum have shown up in good numbers as well offering a great opportunity for someone looking for a trophy fish. They'll be here through the first of October.

    Great trip with Spencer. First time for the family and the kids (15 and 12) had a great time. By the end of the trip they were setting lines and taking fish off the hooks. Spencer was very knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience. Would definitely book again with him when we come back to the area.

    I’m an experienced fisherman who wanted to become better at targeting red drum and trout. Joe not only put me in fish, but taught me things about fishing that area that will help me catch fish on my own for years to come. Highly recommend!

    We had the best morning with Justin! He was friendly, engaging, and provided a lot of education on the area, the water, the fish, and fishing. We got to explore many different parts of the river to ensure we had ample opportunities to catch both speckled trout and red drum. We also followed a pod of porpoises, which was a fun diversion. Justin cleaned our fish at the end of our excursion which we took home and prepared that evening for dinner. Delicious fish tacos thanks for Justin's guidance and navigation! We look forward to returning to the area and having Justin take us out for another fabulous adventure.
