The inshore bite has been as hot as the temps here in SW Florida. The seatrout bite is crazy good around the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water. Shrimp under a popping cork is the ticket. There have been some quality redfish hanging around the mangrove edges and oyster...

The inshore bite has been as hot as the temps here in SW Florida. The seatrout bite is crazy good around the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water. Shrimp under a popping cork is the ticket. There have been some quality redfish hanging around the mangrove edges and oyster bars on higher water. Free lined pinfish or pins under a float will work best. Just remember to get out early to beat the heat as the bite has been over around 11 am.

Snook bite is hot right now using live shrimp. Grey Snapper bite is also hot along with lady fish and catfish in between. Redfish bite continues to be a difficult find but we’re getting on them here and there. -Capt DJ

The fishing has been really good both inshore and nearshore. The shallow water bite has been good for spotted seatrout and ladyfish. Plenty of keeper seatrout. Mostly caught in shrimp under a popping cork. The nearshore shark fishing has been crazy good with both size and variety! Cut bait and chumming is the key to getting them to feed.

High seas have caused a lot of schedule changes and made fishing challenging. The Mahi bite has cooled as the wind and seas have blown the weed lines apart and trolling is picking up bits and pieces of grass. Our best luck has been finding patches of grass and chumming...

High seas have caused a lot of schedule changes and made fishing challenging. The Mahi bite has cooled as the wind and seas have blown the weed lines apart and trolling is picking up bits and pieces of grass. Our best luck has been finding patches of grass and chumming them to see if any mahi are lurking around.
