The fall fishing is starting to heat up really well! As the temperatures drop the fishing gets hotter, plenty of Snook, Redfish, Jacks, Trout, Snapper, and Grouper to be caught.

We will definitely be calling him when we come back to Florida again. Top notch experience! Caught mackerel, trout, groupers, Jack fish, lady fish, lizard fish, catfish and we saw a dolphin.

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.
