With the cooler temperatures, the sheepshead bite has been the most productive as we transition into spring. Redfish still biting as well, but aren't as aggressive right now.

Speckled trout have shown up in big numbers. Did some catch and release Red Snapper last week. Biggest 2 ever caught on the boat and it was back to back. The biggest one was 22 lbs. The other one was 18 lbs. Not bad for 35' of water.

Winter fishing continues to be strong. The slot redfish continue to be active and the sheepshead bite has picked up. While the total fish counts are less than summer, the caught fish are larger and frequently keeper size.

★★★★★
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.
