Lots of tailing pods around the past couple weeks, tough light to pick up single fish. But happy tailers and backing fish make the clouds ok.

Wade fishing for trout has been really good
Sheephead at the jetties are slowing down as we get to the middle of April
Slot reds along with some bull reds have been steady
Most of the trout at the jetties have been over sized but fun to catch
Flounder are starting to make their way back to the bays. I had a wade fishing trip last Saturday where we caught our trout and 14 flounder 6 of which were over 16"

Great morning with Travis. Got us onto fish straight away and our two boys loved it. A 30” redfish started things off and we finished with a 5-6ft alligator gar, with plenty of others between them. Highly recommend a trip out with Travis!

Great time and great experience. Rick did a great job keeping us up to date on weather expectations and navigating around the conditions. Was my son’s first duck hunt and Rick helped make it a memorable one.

Had a great time. Slow start but s great finish. Probably the weather. But was the most fish we have caught in a long time. Hit the grand slam. We really enjoyed the trip Travis. Thank you so much. We will be back!!! And don't forget, if you find that cork let me know what it was and how big. Trey, thanks for your help in getting everything worked out on the booking. You got us a great guide. 👍👍👍

Travis did as good a job as any guide can do. He put us fish. We limited out on one species and found another but didn’t get any keepers.
