The redfish bite has been on! Was using artificial baits until today, they started hitting live menhaden. The wind has been out of the east, it came around west/ northwest last night but it didn't seem to bother the bite. Here is a couple pictures from the last couple days.

Hey folks, Captain Jason here! Things are heating up fast. Water temperatures are rising to the level of welcoming all of those migratory pelagics to the panhandle. Also, the influx of bait fish seeking refuge on near shore structures has sparked a great bite from various snapper species, grouper, trigger fish, Jacks and a few others. King mackerel and Mahi will be on fire very soon.

Recent 6 hour trips. The Gags were released unharmed. We still have a really good vermillion snapper bite. Still some triggers around lots of red snapper catch and released. Spanish mackerel are biting early in the mornings.

    Trip: Adrenaline-Pumping PCB Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing time out on the water. Jon was an outstanding guide. He was friendly, patient, and great with kids. He made sure we were comfortable from the start and gave clear instructions that made the experience enjoyable and easy to follow. This was our first charter trip and it could not have gone better. My 10-year-old son Isaac had a blast and has not stopped talking about it since. He even caught a few fish and was so proud of himself. Jon made the day fun and memorable for both of us. We would definitely recommend Jon to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-run fishing trip with a great guide. Thank you again Jon. Ten out of ten

    Trip: 2-Hour Kids Trip - 26’ Pathfinder

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Keith’s knowledge of the local flora and fauna exemplifies a true Florida waterman. We felt at home and comfy on his vessel and enjoyed the liquids of both the bay, and cooler. A few fish iced the cake of an already memorable trip, while the storied adventure was the real treat. We’ll be back.
