Been getting better in the Ponce inlet area with wind and swell coming down a bit. Still plenty of sheepshead, slot Reds, a few trout and starting to see some mangrove snapper and nice flounder.

Mangrove Snapper. The most realistic edible " keeper". 10 inch minimum and 5 apiece. White flaky meat with no pungent taste. Easy to catch on live shrimp utilizing a Carolina ( sliding) sinker rig.

Captain Billy is awesome. He goes above and beyond to ensure you have a great time. He put us on numerous fish as we weaved and darted all thru the area fishing inland waters for snook and redfish. If you want a great time on the water, ask for Captain Billy.

Nicely equipped boat, plenty of bait and put us on fisj. Weather was a challenge; windy and cold but capt ckay managed to not get us wet which is no easy task on a skiff!

Clay was great. The fish were not biting at the start and he worked really hard trying different spots and bates. We finally caught a few but he wasn't happy with it. We kept moving and then found the Red Drum. We caught our limit in a few minutes and then finished our time catching and releasing. Really good time.

We had an amazing fishing trip with Billy! All our 6 year old wanted to do on our Florida trip was go fishing and this was perfect. He was very patient, experienced, knowledgeable and told some fun stories. Highly recommend if you're looking for the best guide!

Fishing conditions were tough due to recent freezing temperatures. Nick assured us he had gotten every bait available and we were going to give it our best! I was very fortunate that Nick put me on a Redfish of a lifetime and coached me well to land it! Nick is very knowledgeable in his profession and very patient with first time anglers to this style of fishing. I would book with Nick again.

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.
