We are expecting a good Fall fishing season. The temperatures have cooled down, and the fish are biting pretty good. We are catching some small Tarpon on artificial baits. The Snook bite has been consistent in the Backcountry.

We've had an excellent Kingfish bite on the reef with some sailfish also snapping well when we are able to head off shore on longer trips. We are able to find mahi-mahi wahoo and a few blackfin tuna mixed in looking for offshore paligics Please book a three-quarter day.

Kite season is here! The water has cooled down as well as the air temp making ideal fishing conditions. Combine this with the prevalent East wind pushing debris and the Pelagic fish close to shore. The Sailfish have started to show up as well as the big smoker Kings. There have been random Dolphin close to shore with the occasional Blackfin Tuna in 200-350'. Bonita Tuna have been plentiful in shallow around 50'. The Cudas are everywhere out to 400' and we have been getting them deep on live baits. We are still getting Goliath Grouper bites although we haven't landed one in two weeks. We fought one for 2 and a half hours the other night only to get cut off on the shipwreck. Big Bull Sharks have been around, we released 4 last week up to 400 pounds. I love this time of year, it's not hot, it's not cold, the Pelagic fish are close to shore and next month the Swordfish bite is gonna get hot. Swordfish can be caught year round but the best time is October through February, I can't wait! We still have a couple openings for the rest of the week and weekend. Let's catch a Monster!

Trip: South Florida Inshore Fishing
★★★★★
Chris was outstanding as a captain. Aside from is plentiful fishing knowledge and keeping us on bites all day long he was good to talk to and kept us on the fish the entire time we were out there. Even with a shorter half day trip Chris made sure to get us as much fish as possible in the shortened amount of time. The boat was very well kept and gave us many pointers as to how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back very soon!

Paul and first mate Gary worked hard all day on our 8 hour trip offshore. Targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mackerel and Sailfish all day and keeping us over the fish with consistent bites. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a good experience offshore and will hopefully be back again in the future.

Captain Andrew was excellent. We had a great morning up in the back country. Caught a lot of Jack, snapper, trout and even a shark. Andrew is a tru pro. Great communication, on time, and took great care of us on his boat. And, of course, he knows where the fish are!

It is always the right thing to trust professionals. Captain Pete and his mate Chuck are such. The day started kind of slow, but they were able to adjust in time and turn it into a success. We caught a variety of tasty fish which Chuck skillfully filleted. 👍👍👍👍👍
