Fishing in Gulf is great. And the bay fishing for goldfish has been quite good even on the two hour kids trips for our bay trip going after gulf fish like mango, snapper and flounder, and so forth is producing at least a good catch, if not better. I tend to angle towards the goldfish because they’re better eating, even when I’m going in the bay but if you want to go after the speckle trout and redfish, like the other, the guides I do are as good as they get, we’ve been doing quite well.

    We had a great time and caught what we were after, red fish. Even got two keepers! David is a good captain because he didn’t waste time in spots he knew would not get any fish. Kept us on the move and eventually to the spots the fish were at.
