Fished 3 times during past 10 days. Odds are pretty good on over slot reds for next few weeks. There's been plenty of slot sized reds for the taking. Also, the speckled trout bite has been good and should continue through most of next month. This time last year, the big uglies/black drum were chewing and giving everyone aboard a run for their money! Speckled trout, blue fish, and Spanish mackerel are beginning to move in... another fun fish on light tackle

The trout bite is on! We are getting limits of trout the last few days. Good weather and good tides plus warm water have the trout bite at its peak! Using live or artificial baits, it really good.

The redfish bite has been on! Was using artificial baits until today, they started hitting live menhaden. The wind has been out of the east, it came around west/ northwest last night but it didn't seem to bother the bite. Here is a couple pictures from the last couple days.

The Spanish bite has been on fire lately. Red fish and speckled trout have been great in the afternoons. Kings are starting to run throughout the pass and around the wrecks

The water is heating up which means the fish are following. Surf fishing for pompano is starting to turn on and redfish and trout in the bay are moving to shallower water to feed. Trout just opened March 1st so time to get after them!

The trout bite has decided picked up over the last few weeks. Still a good amount of slot reds running the flats as well. Spanish bite was good but definitely started to slow down. Founder opens back up today so we will start targeting them the next couple months

    Captain Trey was a great and entertaining guide for our West Bay half day trip. Caught plenty of speckled sea trout and reds. We did some interesting fishing up the West Bay Creek that connects to the Chactawhatchee Bay that was similar to Bass fishing and very productive. We caught our limit of big reds. Thanks, Captain Trey! Hope to see you again soon

    Captain Trey was awesome. The wind was high, water was rough and bite was slow but Trey worked very hard to find fish. We only caught 1 redfish but it was not from a lack of trying. He talked and cut jokes with the kids and made the day fun. He kept “Bocephus” rocking the radio too. I will definitely book with Trey next time we’re in town.
