The weather this time of the year is very moody, but the fish are still biting. there’s plenty of vermilion snapper and white snapper to be found. In the deep water, grouper and tile fish doing pretty good as well, and the tuna fishing is about to get red hot.

The nearshore bite has been on fire and it's only going to get better. It's not as hot as summertime, and the seas are calm. Nearshore the spanish mackerel, king mackerels, big Reds, are in full swing.
Offshore the Famous Red Snapper on Friday through Mondays have been awesome. With cooler temps and calm seas we have been bringing in some big ones.
Inshore the redfish, and speckled trouts are biting pretty good.
So now is the time to book your trip, cooler temps, calm seas, big fish and no crouds.

This year has been an incredibly tough fishing year for red snapper. The water temps were what they typically are in August by the 1st of July. The marks are all there on the fishfinder. The fish got smarter, faster this year as their appetites were reduced by the temperature increase. We've also had more issues with sharks and dolphins eating our fish and bait off the hooks. We had to switch gears, work harder and try different methods to outsmart the fish. The deeper water fish were still biting well, but with the increase of fuel prices, going out...

This year has been an incredibly tough fishing year for red snapper. The water temps were what they typically are in August by the 1st of July. The marks are all there on the fishfinder. The fish got smarter, faster this year as their appetites were reduced by the temperature increase. We've also had more issues with sharks and dolphins eating our fish and bait off the hooks. We had to switch gears, work harder and try different methods to outsmart the fish. The deeper water fish were still biting well, but with the increase of fuel prices, going out 30 miles on a 6 hour trip was not a sustainable business practice. We finally decided to switch gears and go after vermilion snapper while targeting red snapper on the side. This has given our charters better experiences than before. We're still targeting red snapper until the end of the season but it's not our primary target. That takes the pressure off and makes fishing fun again.

    we had such a wonderful time on our charter. Jordan our guide was so patient with our group and everyone had a memorable experience. We really appreciate the crew actively seeking places to maximize our chances to catch fish. And we came away with a few keepers. The sign up was very convenient and I appreciated Dale reaching out to answer any questions we had before the charter.

    Despite challenging conditions from a tropical storm moving through the area, we had a great experience with Patrick. He worked hard throughout the trip, staying in communication with other guides and doing everything he could to get us into the best fishing spots possible. While the weather and rough water made fishing difficult, Patrick was knowledgeable, professional, and a lot of fun to spend the day with. Even though we didn’t catch as many fish as we had hoped, our group had a great time together and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    It was a good fishing trip. The weather was rough but we still caught fish none were keepers. Probably missed a nice catch due to lack of experience.
