Flounder were good before the storm nearshore . We will see what this storm has done. Alot of sewage got dumped and wastewater full of high levels of nitrogen. Sality levels have dropped inshore. Water is dirty . I won't know what's really happening until I fish tomorrow. Been prepping for a hurricane for the last week. Just got the boats serviced and back on the lift.

Shark fishing has been hot. Snook and redfish are eating live and cut bait. Trout have been eating live and artificial baits. There's been some mackerel activity on spoons and live bait. The mangrove snapper bite has been good on live sardines

The fishing is full swing here in Tampa Bay, haven't heard much from your booking service in a while just making sure yall are still active! I have been getting some trips from the other service but yours has been my favorite to use honestly... will shoot over a few pics from recent trips, but the spring has sprung and we have been catching snook, trout, redfish, mackerel etc... firing off in Tampa Bay! Thank you, Capt Andrew

Fish were biting good this week on the high outgoing tide. I was fishing around structure. Using 1/4 oz jig heads tip with live shrimp. We were catching redfish, trout, snapper, sheepshead, black drum and a few snook.

Dillon knows his stuff and is a great dude, also great with the kids (teenagers). We hooked into a bunch of trout, mackerel, grouper. I would definitely head out with him again and would recommend him to others.
We had a great time on this trip. Booked this for my brother’s bachelor trip and couldn’t be happier I chose Dillon and his crew. Great guides and great people! Thanks for having us.
FIVE STARS!!! Pick him every time! I got the trip for my husband for Father’s Day and Dillon was awesome! He took us all over and we had so many fish to choose from for our hotel grill! He knows these waters well! Ladies I didn’t have to bait the hook either!
Got us on the fish right away. Cannot tell you how many trips I have been on where just catching a few is a problem. Dillon knew exactly where to go and moved when the fishing changed. We caught so many species I cannot recall them all. Way over 20 fish on the trip with at least 5 Keeper
mangrove snappers. Highly recommend this captains experience!!!
Captain Dillon was awesome! As newbies to fishing, he spent a lot of time teaching us about the ins and outs of fishing, equipment, tricks, bait, fish… it was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to go out with him again!
We had a great time! Captain Dillon is professional, knowledgeable, and he helped us the entire time. He was ready when we arrived and had everything we needed for the trip. We will definitely book another trip with Captain Dillon!
