As we head into July and the full heat of summertime, the water is hot, and the fishing is responding accordingly.
The bait is still small, but the mangrove snapper love it, and you never know what else is gonna eat it in the mangroves. We have chances at funsized tarpon, snook, redfish, jacks, ladyfish and the list goes on.
When we focus on big fish, we use big bait, and in the warm water, freshly cut chunks of big bait will out fish the live ones. Big snook and redfish are lazy this time of the year, and prefer...

When we focus on big fish, we use big bait, and in the warm water, freshly cut chunks of big bait will out fish the live ones. Big snook and redfish are lazy this time of the year, and prefer to sit back in their shady mangrove lined hiding places and slurp it up!
Big sharks are all over the back country. A freshly cut bloody bait usually won't last very long in the warm waters. Toss one out, and an outrageous drag ripping battle is sure to follow suit.
Whether you want to eat fresh snapper, battle snook, reds, tarpon, or get in the ring with a big bull or lemon shark, July is ready to provide the challenge.

Kevin was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided easy step by step instruction instructions while fighting 2 - 5 foot lemon sharks in less than 1/2 hour before daylight faded. Both were unkooked boat side with great video and pictures. His boat is clean and organized making it safe and easy to move around the boat while battling a catch of a lifetime for 2 Wisconsinites. Thanks Kevin. See you soon.
My dad and I were able to squeeze in on a charter with Captain Eric fairly last minute which was awesome! He got us both on some sea trout first thing in the morning, lined us up on some tarpon but before I was able to take any shots on the fly rod, we spooked a tarpon and in came the bull sharks. We buzzed over to a different flat where I had shots at both snook and redfish. I didn’t end up making any of my shots with the fly rod but this was also my first saltwater fly fishing experience as well as my first guided trip so it was all pretty new to me. I’m just stoked we were able to get out in the first place. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Captain Eric and I certainly wouldn’t turn down another opportunity to have him guide us! He’s quiet but very focused and knowledgeable about the marine life and was able to give me casting tips as well with the fly rods. Thank you again for squeezing us in Eric!
Sean was outstanding! Incredibly knowledgeable super safe and organized and gave us a really great experience. He is a true professional and knows the lanes like the back of his hand. Cannot recommend him enough.
It was a great day on the water. We were able to catch a few peacock bass and lots of largemouth. Roy was well prepared, good at coaching, knowledgeable about the waters and put us on fish.
Ken was great! Had a very chill time fly fishing for tarpon, snook, and redfish. Ken was easy to fish with and gave us opportunity at all three species on a 6 hour trip. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone!
Great fishing trip for our family with Captain Brian! He put us on more speckled trout than ever imagined and ensured that everyone had an awesome experience. If you’re interested in a wonderful fishing experience for a family, be sure to request Captain Brian!
