Mike Mann New Smyrna Beach, Florida Reported: 4 days ago

Red fish bite still continues to be very good with higher water after the recent rains as well as the east winds look for the Reds to start moving onto the shorelines chasing bait. As we start getting into the spring, the offshore bike should start turning on with typically calm seas. Nearshore as the ocean temperatures rise start keep an eye out for schools of tarpon moving up the beach, as well as still may be a few manta rays with Cobia.

Good day everyone! The weather has been fluctuating lately. The Wind and Rain changing daily makes it difficult to know the best time to go out. But, the fishing has been consistent when we do get out the trout bite is really good. Most of them are just undersized, for every 10 undersized you'll catch one keeper. Everyone is waiting on the bait to change to catch the big ones! There are some Reds around but they are few and far between. The Jacks are starting to show up put up a good fight. Don't forget as of April 1st you can't keep trout over 19 in. Good fishing everyone!

Great trip! Jeremy was patient with the the younger crew that was new to fishing reds and kept working to get us on the fish!

Todd brought us to the spot and we started catching right away. Got enough to feed 6 the next day. He is always baiting the hook or doing something for us. I would love to go with him again. David Doyle

The four of us had a great time fishing with Captain Todd! We did a quick morning trip and it was just enough for all of us to catch a handful of fish. Todd was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Would definitely go again!

Todd was great! Very informative regarding species of fish being caught. He cleaned our fish we kept as well. It was awesome being able to eat fresh catch same day! We will definitely make this an annual event during our beach trip from now on.

Had a blast with Captain Jeremy. He put us on trout with the first cast and never let up finding the reds for us. He is a hundred percent in on finding the fish for you and knows the waters and methods for catching them. I would recommend his service for new comers and experienced anglers. We will definitely use him again.
