Ocean fishing has been good nearshore and offshore.... lots of casting opportunities nearshore for bluefish and Spanish mackerel on light spinning gear as well as a splash of king mackerel and amberjack on live bait nearshore. If you find a happy pack of amberjacks you can get them to take topwater plugs and even fly tackle. Not to mention the sharks, plenty of action to those wanting to target sharks and many times even those anglers that don't want sharks. On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers,...

On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers, trigger fish, vermilion snappers and a few sea bass plus all the other typical species. There's still a stray Cobia or two most days and a few mahi too.

Here on the Crystal Coast spring has sprung in the ocean. The Bonita are finally arriving along the beaches and we will chase these sushi grade speedsters casting metal, trolling spoons, and live baiting. The Chopper Bluefish are on the shoals and smashing topwater. And some jumbo False Albacore up to 25lbs are in the mix. Seabass fishing is solid in 80 to 100ft and the vermillion snapper, triggerfish are joining them. Great time of the year and it will only get better in the coming weeks as cobia and Spanish Mackerel arrive.

    Great trip with Spencer. First time for the family and the kids (15 and 12) had a great time. By the end of the trip they were setting lines and taking fish off the hooks. Spencer was very knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience. Would definitely book again with him when we come back to the area.

    My son and I had such a special Day fishing with Captain Will. He was so professional and kind, and most importantly he ensured that we had fun! We would not hesitate to book again with Will. Thanks for such a memorable day!

    Dale was phenomenal. He new the bait and the honey hole. Put us on the fish and sent us home with cleaned dinner. I will absolutely be back and will only go out on the water with him when in the area. 11 out of 10!

    I’m an experienced fisherman who wanted to become better at targeting red drum and trout. Joe not only put me in fish, but taught me things about fishing that area that will help me catch fish on my own for years to come. Highly recommend!

    We had the best morning with Justin! He was friendly, engaging, and provided a lot of education on the area, the water, the fish, and fishing. We got to explore many different parts of the river to ensure we had ample opportunities to catch both speckled trout and red drum. We also followed a pod of porpoises, which was a fun diversion. Justin cleaned our fish at the end of our excursion which we took home and prepared that evening for dinner. Delicious fish tacos thanks for Justin's guidance and navigation! We look forward to returning to the area and having Justin take us out for another fabulous adventure.

    Bradley is top notch. Everything from the gear, to the location, guide skill, and hunting dog was everything a person could look for in a guided hunt. Bradley’s dog, Shay, made some of the most impressive waterfowl retrieves I have ever seen. I will be sure to book with him again next season!

    We had an awesome time with capt. Joe. He worked extremely hard to put us on the fish. Water conditions weren't to our favor, But we will be back next year. Can't wait to fish with our new found friend again. And have another great day on the water. ☆☆☆☆☆
