Tis the season for trout. The water temperature has cooled off enough to trigger the bite. The trout have been stacked up in the creeks and are hungry. Target them in the creek corners and oyster bars on a popping cork or freeline a mudminnow for the best action.
Redfish are also stacked up in the creeks using the same tactics and bait. Numbers are sufficient to make for an exciting day on the water but most are under slot.

The big flounder are in and ready to eat. Target them along the ICW as well as creek holes using
a mudminnows on a jig head. Work it slowly on the bottom until you feel that bump and wait just a few seconds before setting the hook. You won’t be disappointed.

The water has cooled off a bit so that means the trout bite is starting to pick up. You can target them on drop offs in most areas ranging from the flats, creeks and along the ICW on the shell banks.
The reds are beginning to to school up better coming off of the spawn but with the high water it’s been difficult to find good slots but using a live mullet on a popping cork will work. Target them along the grass and oyster bars.

The black drum are bitting steady near the inlets and deep holes in the
creeks. Shrimp is always your best bait to entice them.
The flounder bite has been decent still and the big girls have moved in to the ICW. Target them by using a 1/4oz jighead or smaller depending on the current with a live finger mullet, mud minnow or shrimp. Just be patient and you’ll hook up with some really nice flatties.

Well since hurricane Ian we have had very high murky water. But that’s ok because the bite had been good. This time of year is our transition period so that makes the fish spread out. We have been throwing lots of soft plastic swim baits , pop n corks with live shrimp, and some top water as well. Come join the fun and let’s catch some nice reds, trout , snook, and black drum.

Hey Hannah, the redfish bite is still steady. With the flood tides target grass lines with a popping cork and a live mullet or shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook. For the bull reds target the inlets with either live mullet, blue crab or cut bait on a 3/0 hook with minimal weight. Slack tides will produce the best fishing. Flounder, same ole story. Target creek mouths, bends and sandbars. The snook bite is the best it's been in a couple of weeks. Target most of the same area's as the smaller refs and flounder with live shrimp or finger...

Target creek mouths, bends and sandbars. The snook bite is the best it's been in a couple of weeks. Target most of the same area's as the smaller refs and flounder with live shrimp or finger mullet on a 1/0 to a 3/0 hook with a split shot or under a popping cork.
In the St. John's River the everything is still keyed in on shrimp as they thin out. Use a slip cork rig with a 1/0 to 3/0 hook and pitch up close to natural shoreline and hold on. You can expect to catch everything from largemouth, striped bass, red fish and catfish. Currently we are experiencing higher than usual flood tides so the fishing is tough but once you find them the bite is pretty good.

The red fish bite is still good despite them being spread out a little in the creeks and flats. Most are staging in the inlets for the mullet run and spawning.
Flounder and drum bite is still good. Look for both in creek corners and creek mouths for the flounder.
The water temperature will start to drop in the next few weeks so we can expect to start seeing some triple tail more often and the trout bite will get better.
We’re also picking up snook in residential canals and creeks on the falling tide.

along with big jacks and Spanish mackerel. Target the pogy pods just off the beach or in the surf.

    Found Captain Clay through CaptainExperiences just a few days before trip and he was a lifesaver. We had a “bragging rights” fishing tourney and he put us on the fish. Won first place individual when he found the flounder! Great experience, local knowledge of where the fish are! Highly recommend

    Trip: Inshore Adventure - 19' Polarized

  • ★★★★★
    My husband my dad and I booked a fishing charter with coal over Father's Day weekend and it was an incredible experience. I had never been on a charter before, and Cole made the entire day enjoyable from start to finish. What impress me most was how well he catered to each of our different experience levels. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. It was obvious that he genuinely wanted us to catch fish and was willing to go the extra mile to make it happen. At one point, he noticed other Boats were having success with a different bait that he didn't have on board. Rather than just accepting it, he immediately got on the phone and arranged for someone to bring it out to him so we could have the best chance of success. Cole was also incredibly courteous to other fishermen on the water and seemed to know just about everyone in the area. His local knowledge and professionalism really stood out. We ended up catching quite a few fish including red fish and flounder. We also caught a small shark and even a couple of eels. All in all it was a fantastic day filled with great fishing great company and plenty of excitement. I would absolutely book another trip with Cole and highly recommend him to anyone looking for fun successful and memorable fishing charter experience.

    Captain Billy is awesome. He goes above and beyond to ensure you have a great time. He put us on numerous fish as we weaved and darted all thru the area fishing inland waters for snook and redfish. If you want a great time on the water, ask for Captain Billy.
