Reds bite is solid in the surf, easy limits. In the bay, trout bite is picking up on deep reefs too. Reefs holding black drum, back lake drains holding reds during tidal movements

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.
