Fishing has still been a lil tough with high pressure and high winds but the last 2 days have started picking back up. These boys had never caught a redfish but we managed a few with the best being 27 1/2

Ladies have been giving the new Bubba rods a workout! Trout are good on croakers, bull reds have been solid with a good incoming tide, and slot reds are finally showing up. Flounder gigging is also heating up!

With temperatures on the rise the reds have been moving into the back lakes. Perfect for chasing them with the airboat where outboards can't go.

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.
