Nearshore continues to be productive with a variety of Snapper including Hog Snapper and Inshore proves to be productive with quality Red Drum and Speckled Trout. Book a trip and also ask me about "catch and cook" at local restaurants after I properly filet and package your catch. 🎣

    Taylor was great to fish with. We had my 3 year old son, my 70 year old father and my 14 year old nephew on the boat. Everyone had a blast and got a fish on a day that was not ideal conditions for fishing. Highly recommend and plan to use him and Alex again in the future.
