Red snapper season is in full swing and they are biting well. We are catching limits on most trips with a few mackerel and jacks in between.

Here are some 5 and 6 hour trips we've ran this week while dodging the weather! Snapper bite still good. A few king mackerel showing up with some Bonita and occasional Mahi Mahi!

Been stuck in the bay this week because of weather. 27 and 25 inch gator trout have not disappointed. Grass flats have been the answer

Fishing in Gulf is great. And the bay fishing for goldfish has been quite good even on the two hour kids trips for our bay trip going after gulf fish like mango, snapper and flounder, and so forth is producing at least a good catch, if not better. I tend to angle towards the goldfish because they’re better eating, even when I’m going in the bay but if you want to go after the speckle trout and redfish, like the other, the guides I do are as good as they get, we’ve been doing quite well.

    We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Darrell and his deck hand Jon. We caught a good amount of fish. We will definitely be coming back and going on another trip.
