The fishing has been phenomenal lately, getting into our spring trends with higher tides and strong bite inshore. Snook, redfish, trout and tarpon have been the big targets along with Spanish Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, mangrove snapper and others. White bait is prevalent throughout the sound and that's what these predatory fish love to eat. Plenty of fun fights everyday fishing bar lines, grass flats and mangrove islands.

    Amazing trip with Captain Bobby. He took us to 4 or 5 different spots, and plenty of fish at each spot. My grandson’s (7 and 10 years old) were fishing for the first time, and Captain Bobby was very patient and helpful with them. The trip exceeded our expectations!

    Leighton was an absolutely fantastic guide, and great person. He was super knowledgeable, resourceful, and patient on our trip. He helped us get on some of our first saltwater fish on the fly, and made it an enjoyable time while doing so! I would 100% book another trip with Leighton.

    Alex was a great guide, knowledgeable, patience, we found the tarpon and snook but we just couldn't get them to bite. Some days you're the hammer some days you're the nail. Definitely be back again.
