Scallop report:

The scallops are in Crystal River and Homosassa thick this year. We are scalloping in 2ft to 5ft of water all you need to do this is your bath suite, towels and mask and snorkel you will just swim around the beautiful grass flats that we have and can see scallops, stone crabs, spider crabs, and a lot of different smaller fish and starfish. If you don't have a mask and snorkel don't worry we have plenty for you to enjoy your day on the water.

Killing it on the red grouper bite! We are catching what we call firetrucks every day offshore. Mixed in with these pics as a couple sneak peek pictures of what gag Grouper season's gonna look like when it opens in September. The red grouper bite is extremely hot right now. It's also American red snapper season right now and the mangrove snapper bite is also on fire.

    Had an amazing time! Unforgettable memories! We will be back!!

    My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Jake today. Although it may have been a little less action than expected, he made the effort hitting up multiple spots and giving us every opportunity to catch as many fish as possible! Very professional but also made it fun with the conversations and information about the wildlife in the area. Highly recommended, and we’ll be hitting up Captain Jake the next time we’re in town!

    We had a great time. Jake was amazing and was very patient with my 6 year old granddaughter. I would recommend him for sure. We caught fish and saw many dolphins. All around nice trip.

    The captain was very pleasant and worked hard to put us on fish. The wind picked up during the trip but it was still a good experience.

    Trip: 4 - Hour Inshore Sight Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    What can I say about this trip. Yes I'm sure we got a bit lucky, but Captain Jake got his own bait, put us on fish immediately and we had a blast. We caught 6 different species on light tackle from spanish mackerel, to catfish, to black tip sharks. It was already an amazing trip. Then we got the heavy tackle out and hooked into a hammerhead, more black tips, and the absolute icing on the cake was a giant 150 lb Tarpon. This was my dream, and Jake made it happen. I couldn't recommend him more. He is very knowledgeable, takes his profession very seriously and is fun and personable at the same time! Do not hesitate to pick captain Jake for your next trip
