The CATCHING has been awesome for the last 10 days or so. The lower tides had made it so easy to catch a lot of reds and black drums. Now with the water coming back, I have had to be following the fish as they move into different areas as tides rise. These kinds of conditions will continue until we stop receiving fronts. April and May are great times in which. I have plenty of dates availableand I am sure we can get you worked in.

Inconsistent weather has us chasing down redfish and the results are good Slower bites then normal in the cold but the fish are just as hungry.

Chase was great! We had so much fun and caught our limit of big redfish, then gigged 4 nice flounder before the weather rolled in. We caught about 8 additionall redfish that we threw back…along with the huge tarpon my husband caught. And the area we fished was absolutely gorgeous. A dream fishing trip!!! Thanks a million again to Chase!

My party had a terrific time! James is one of the best guides I’ve had the pleasure to meet and fish with. I recommend him without any reservation, and confident that regardless of your skills and abilities, James can and will help you and your group have the best trip possible.

A little bit of a tough day. Saw lots of fish but they just were not biting, but Travis went above and beyond and found a pocket of tailing Red. He found fish and put me on them and that is exactly what you pay a guid to do. Great job!!!

Had a great time. Slow start but s great finish. Probably the weather. But was the most fish we have caught in a long time. Hit the grand slam. We really enjoyed the trip Travis. Thank you so much. We will be back!!! And don't forget, if you find that cork let me know what it was and how big. Trey, thanks for your help in getting everything worked out on the booking. You got us a great guide. 👍👍👍

Chase and Marshall were awesome. They took a boat of 3 13 yr olds and an 11 yr old and the dads on separate boat. Everyone had a great time and we landed 2 huge 40” bulls!!

Trip: 1/2 Day From The Boat

We had a great time out on the water with Captain Larry! He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We wanted to find where the trout were and he got us to the places to make that happen. I had never wade-fished, but he got me comfortable and now I may never go back to fishing from a boat (and getting sea sick). Definitely will look at booking with Captain Larry again in the future.

James is a professional fishing guide and not only put us right on the fishe everywhere we went but also made it fun. My 3 daughters and I were all novice fishermen but he had us reeling in fish like we were naturals. Highly recommend!

Trip: Tortuga Flats Fishing
★★★★★
There is no such thing as a guaranteed day of good fishing. You have to have the right tackle, patience, spot and timing. Capt James has everything listed with experience to boot! Had an amazing time in fairly tough fishing conditions but Capt James persisted till we found the fish, can’t recommend enough!

Travis did as good a job as any guide can do. He put us fish. We limited out on one species and found another but didn’t get any keepers.
