Timothy Russell
Port Orange, Florida
Reported: 1 year ago

The inshore fall byte, has been heating up. Lots of red fish Some really nice black drum, a few sheepshead and the occasional snook. It's been too rough to get offshore. The last couple of weeks, hopefully that will change soon. The bite should be red hot.

Aaron is a lights out captain. Goes the extra mile and is funny and keeps things light and fun. My boys and I celebrated my birthday with 2 of the biggest reds of his season which was an awesome experience! Highly recommended.

We had a great day on the water. The bite was tough but Billy still got us some fish and we had a blast. We fished a lot of different spots and techniques all day. Will definitely book with Billy again when we come back.

Todd brought us to the spot and we started catching right away. Got enough to feed 6 the next day. He is always baiting the hook or doing something for us. I would love to go with him again. David Doyle
