Fort Pierce has been producing very well when the weather allows us to get offshore. Sailfish are in good numbers and are being caught on a regular basis. Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel are also around as well and being caught in good numbers once you find them. There are also a few Wahoo being hooked into as well. The bottom fishing has been nothing short of great with limits of "flag" Lane Snapper being caught as well as some nice Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper and Cobia.

As winter approaches us the artificial bite real fires off. With water temps in the low 60's I've been targeting muddy flats with scattered grass. Reds are still holding to the shoreline with warmer days. Trout have been hanging on the edge of these flats in waist deep water. Look...

Reds are still holding to the shoreline with warmer days. Trout have been hanging on the edge of these flats in waist deep water. Look for your cleaner water with bait activity. Follow your bait you will find the fish.

    Great day out fishing with Capt. Tommy. He took great care to make sure we had an enjoyable time. It was like we were with a good friend out to drown some fish for dinner. If you want to find Reds, he knows where to go. Don't hesitate. Book him.

    Redfish Success with Captain Tommy – Rockport, TX Despite a windy day and high water near Aransas Pass, Captain Tommy put us right on the fish. The flats were tough, but he still knocked out a two-man limit of redfish in just three hours—no small feat under those conditions. His personality was a great mix of humor and local know-how. While he didn’t spill too many trade secrets (understandably!), he kept the trip engaging and productive. If you’re chasing reds around Rockport, he’s absolutely worth booking. Solid guide, solid results.

    Tommy was great. Despite some reservations at the end of a busy holiday weekend, he got us on fish. We had a great time and Tommy interacted well with our group. We hope to book again with Tommy in the future.

    My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Experience’s guide, Tommy, on May 25, 2025. He really knew where to find good fish, and he made sure we were safe the whole time—especially me, since I’m a bit older! We really appreciated everything he did. We’re excited to go on another trip with him someday. 5 out of 5 stars!

    Tommy has excellent knowledge of the bay and lead us to a bountiful drum catch. We enjoyed his company and learning his method of drum fishing.

    My family went out with Tommy today. He put us on fish immediately. We had 6 huge red fish within our first 30 minutes. If the fish are biting he knows where to take you. AWESOME
