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

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...

My daughter, son in law, and I had an amazing trip today with Captain Tim. We caught a few snook and snapper and even had a few to take home to eat. Captain Tim kept us on good fishing spots. He was super helpful and was fun company on the boat. We will be returning for sure!

Absolute blast with Captain Steve! We went a few miles offshore and fished for Goliath grouper. Caught several in the 30-50 lb range, one 85+ lb, one 185+ lb, and hooked a world class Goliath Grouper but ended up breaking the line on structure! Couldn’t recommend a better guide to go out and land some huge fish. We will definitely head out with Steve again when we come back to town, highly recommend!

We had so much fun with captain joe on our deep sea fishing trip! We have been on a few different deep sea fishing trips but this was by far the best experience we have had! They took us to a couple different spots that were all very successful and we had a blast catching a 200 lb Goliath grouper. Would definitely go with them again!
