Temperatures are warming up in Florida and we are getting ready for Spring Break! The warmer water has brought a strong bite. Inshore Grouper has picked up as well as every other species after the deep freeze we had in early January. Inshore I'm concentrating around docks and structure, and lately have been trolling deep diver lures.

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    First and foremost, DJ is a great guy! We booked a 6 hour trip with him to hopefully have a chance at snook and redfish. Leading up to the trip, DJ communicated very well about where to meet and was flexible with the time to meet so we had the best chance at fish. On the water he worked hard to get us on fish and was very knowledgeable and personable. The bite was a bit tough due to the recent cold snap that hit Florida, however, he still put us on the fish and gave us solid opportunities at landing trophy snook and reds. We had a blast fishing with him, very much would recommend him for your fishing adventures in the St Petersburg/Tampa area!
