Sea mullet and grey trout have been on fire. Bonito are showing up, Spanish and blues mixed in. Inshore is getting closer to having reds, but your best luck is jigging the bottom structure

Spring temps have fish moving in from offshore. Inshore jigging can produce grey trout, bluefish, puffers, and sheepshead. Inshore red drum are schooled up in the marshes, casting artificials has been the most effective method

Weather has been pretty good for the most part, super clear water, really fun to sight fish, chasing reds in shallows, and bottom fishing jetty's for black drum and sheepshead. March should be great!

    Shane was my captain for a 3 hour saltwater farewell. The overall experience could not have been any better. Shane was easy to be with and very considerate. His boat was comfortable and clean. I was impressed with how important it was to Shane to learn about my family member being honored. By talking about my mom's life and the area, we were able to choose a meaningful place to release the biodegradable urn. I highly recommend Shane for a saltwater farewell and I bet he is a lot of fun to fish with!

    Trip: Saltwater Farewell

    Inshore fishing trip with Capt Jack was top notch! Hooked up within the first 5 mins of our lines in the water. Teenage son had a blast. Usually catch and release but decided to keep our limit on the Red Drum. Capt Jack did a nice job filleting them out and sent us on our way with our fresh fish on ice and even some grilling tips which we followed the next evening. Pleasant, professional, and personable. Thanks Jack!

    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.
