Been pretty cold here but the fish are still biting and it's starting to warm back up. Last few trips have been speckled trout and when we can get out to the jetty's there's black drum and sheepshead to be caught.

On our way to jig up bluefish for bait, we marked a large school of shad. Thinking that would be a good place to start fishing we marked it to come back to once we put some bait in the livewell. After putting a few 4-5 pound bluefish in the livewell we headed towards the bait we had marked. When we got about half a mile from it we started seeing birds working a few hundred yards in front of us. At that time we decided to deploy the bait and start fishing. Before we could get the second rod...

On our way to jig up bluefish for bait, we marked a large school of shad. Thinking that would be a good place to start fishing we marked it to come back to once we put some bait in the livewell. After putting a few 4-5 pound bluefish in the livewell we headed towards the bait we had marked. When we got about half a mile from it we started seeing birds working a few hundred yards in front of us. At that time we decided to deploy the bait and start fishing. Before we could get the second rod set, the first one started screaming but sadly didn't get hooked. Thinking it was probably a shark we baited back up and set the rods. Less than 10 minutes later we got the bite we were looking for and an hour and a half later had it tied off beside the boat. The fish was 108 inches long and cored (head, tail, and innards removed) out at 603 pounds.

Jake was more then great with our group, from the beginning he showed us kindness and walked us through everything, great guide and friend to talk to out on the water, caught some hogs while with him, had a great time👍💪
This was one of the best fishing trips we have ever been on! We caught a bunch of fish and learned a great deal! Joel is a phenomenal fisherman and guide! I highly recommend him and we will definitely book again in the future!
Mike and the crew were awesome! We headed out despite rough seas and they put us on fish! We brought in over 50 fish and it wore us out! Mike and Kyle were great and kept First mate Kody busy helping us out all day as the fish were coming in! He was wonderful! A+ and highly recommend them!
He was very welcoming and friendly and extremely knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time on our excursion. Can’t wait when we return on our next vacation and go out on the sound with him again. Thank you very much.
Our eco/island hopping/dolphin watching boat tour with Mike was amazing. He made sure we saw everything we came to see. My son saw dolphins in the wild up close for the first time. Each island stop was so cool seeing the different birds and water creatures. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. Highly recommend!!!
Had a great time with Jamie. He’s very personable and adapted the day well based on what was biting. Great weather, company, and fishing. Thanks, Jamie!
