Bull Reds The bull reds are fired up! We’re seeing big bruisers crushing bait around the deep holes and channel edges. Live mullet and cut bait have been the ticket. Bring the heavy gear—these giants aren’t playing around. Now’s the time to battle a beast! 💪🎣🔥

Fishing has been pretty good for big trout not a lot of fish but large ones - last 6 trips we have released 16 speckled trout between 20-28.5" . A few flounder here and there and the redfish have been hit and miss.

We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

Captain Jonny went ABOVE and beyond what any charter captain has done for us in the past. He was upfront and honest which is hard to find these days. He was very tentative to our needs and especially towards my young son. He made sure we had a great day on the water. I would highly recommend captain Jonny to anyone looking for a great guide willing to do whatever it takes to make your trip memorable.

Captain Michael was wonderful. Treated my boys great and taught them a lot. Very easy to get along with. The fish weren't cooperating very well, but it was very hot and in the afternoon. All in all a wonderful day on the water.
