The bait is finally showing up on the beaches. The bite is slowing down in the afternoon due the heat. Lots of fun bites out there though

Yes, the bigger mangrove snapper are inshore and near offshore right now. The redfish and snook have been plentiful and willing to eat live and artificial bait.

sheephead bite has been pretty steady due to cold water temperatures
unfortunately the last cold front lowered water temperatures to below 55 degrees and killed a good bunch of snook
trout bite has been on the rise using cut live shrimp on a jig head
redfish continue to be in the witness protection program
this beautiful weather will improve the fish bite for sure

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.

    Best fishing trip everrrrrrr! we got 9 snappers that we could bring home and eat! Besides those we could keep, we got countless amounts of small snappers we won a Guinness world record for the smallest snapper in our family history. Plus, we caught and released 3 catfish and a jellyfish! Thank you Captain Tim! (From the birthday boy :))

    Captain Tim from Red Hot! Let’s go Fishing charter is the guy you want to pick for a great day of fishing. He knows where the fish are and how to catch them. We fished different ways and caught 5 different species of fish. The sheephead we caught were a nice size and ate them for dinner that night. Delicious!! My son and I had a great day of fishing with Captain Tim and will be booking him again!!

    We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water with Tim! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Tim is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we were always in the best spots to reel in some great catches. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—clear skies, calm waters, and just the right breeze to make the day even more enjoyable. It truly felt like the ideal setting for a memorable fishing trip. Tim went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were having a great time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, I can’t recommend a trip with Tim enough. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🎣🌊

    Captain Tim was a great host. He knows the back bays like they are his backyard. Took us to many different spots and we were able to get into same great fish. Tim was also great with my 14, 12, and 7 year old kids. Would call Tim again for a trip next time we are in town.

    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!
