Speckled trout have shown up in big numbers. Did some catch and release Red Snapper last week. Biggest 2 ever caught on the boat and it was back to back. The biggest one was 22 lbs. The other one was 18 lbs. Not bad for 35' of water.

Winter fishing continues to be strong. The slot redfish continue to be active and the sheepshead bite has picked up. While the total fish counts are less than summer, the caught fish are larger and frequently keeper size.

Fishing has been pretty good for big trout not a lot of fish but large ones - last 6 trips we have released 16 speckled trout between 20-28.5" . A few flounder here and there and the redfish have been hit and miss.

What a great fishing guide! He made our 3 hour trip on the water a successful day to remember. We caught red fish, drum fish, and sheep's head. He cleaned, filet the fish, and packed them on ice for us. This captain knows where this fish are and treats the customers right! Thank you for a great experience on the gulf Captain Bobby. We will definitely be back to fish again and not with anyone else. Best guide ever!

Trip: 3 Hour Inshore/Offshore
★★★★★
We were quite disappointed in our experience. Cade is a nice young man, but asked us nothing about our fishing experience or expectations for the day. Our first fishing spot was about 300 yards from the launch ramp where we caught about 5 or 6 fish, with the biggest being about 8 inches. We then traveled about 35 minutes to the second location which was under a highway bridge.. We caught about 4 or 5 fish, with the biggest being about 10 inches. I understand that the guide cannot be responsible for the fish caught but it seemed like we were in locations that were targeting smaller fish. For the cost of the trip, we were expecting more of a "Gulf charter fishing experience." I would recommend not using this venue.

Trip: Inshore Family Fun 6 Hour
★★★★★
Captain Chase and first mate House were so much fun! Will definitely use them again! Group of 10 ages ranging from 11 to 66 and they put us on fish, especially considering the trip we booked. And with House manning the deck, there was never a dull moment.

★★★★★
I really enjoyed my fishing trip. This was my 1st charter and it did not disappoint. Captain Rick was very knowledgeable as to where the fish were. I really appreciated the patience he showed (because of 1st time learning curve). I look forward to taking my family on the next trip. Thanks
