Fishing has been consistently good for Redfish and Sheepshead, with a grab bag of other species. Black Drum, Seatrout, Jacks and Mangrove Snappers have all been in the mix. If the weather stays warm, expect Snook and Tarpon action to heat up quick!

Redfish are still schooled up and the large trout are getting on the flats in the warmer days. The schools of big black drum are still around as well. Fishing has been good!

Been on a fun early morning topwater bite. Snook, jacks , and tarpon on artificial and fly before the sun comes up. Once the bright of daylight starts to shine the fly and lure bite dies and we have been switching to live bait.

The snook bite is HOT HOT HOT! We've been able to limit out on snook just about every trip. Snook season ends on December 15th so you have until then to put some Snook in your freezer. As it cools down the big bull redfish will be showing up too...

    Spent a half day out with Captain Kenneth! Had an amazing day fishing for black drum, mango snapper, tarpon, and snook. He did an awesome job running the boat and keeping everyone going and hooking the big ones! The questionable weather in Florida didn’t stop us from having a good time. Thank you for the great day!
