Waters have warmed back up and a variety of fish are slipping out to bite the hooks again.Few flounders not far from shore in the Gulf are still giving it up. Tasty bright red vermillion snappers are being caught as well, when the seas lay down here and there.

The redfish bite has been fantastic, also lately we've seen more mangrove snapper that I can recall in my 30 years experience. The flounder and sea trout bite has been pretty dependable lately. We appreciate your interest and would be glad to tailor a fishing trip to your preference. Thank

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

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.
