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.

Strong fishing for red drum, some citation size false albacore spanish, and king mackeral, flounder speckled and grey trout and more. Fall fishing is the best fishing of the year, mother nature will dictate the path we take but with more options than ever, comfy temps and hot fishing, how can you go wrong.

    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!!!
