Fishing has been good before it gets to hot once the afternoon hits the fish have been a little slower so if a trip is to be booked I'd definitely recommend a morning or night trip

Tarpon season is in full swing here in Boca Grande, and June is always one of the best months to chase the Silver King. The fish are here in good numbers, and they’ve been aggressive and ready to eat.

We’ve been seeing plenty of opportunities and some incredible battles on the water. If a tarpon has been on your bucket list, now is the time to make it happen.

I still have a few dates available in June. Reach out to book your trip and experience one of Florida’s most exciting fisheries before the season slips away.

Winter is here, and the bite is still producing nicely. Recent cold fronts have pushed fish into deeper holes and troughs, and they’re stacked up and feeding.

We’ve been finding consistent action around deeper creek mouths and structure, and the fish have been aggressive and hungry.

With warmer weather right around the corner, conditions are shaping up even better, and the bite should only improve from here. It’s a great time to get on the water and take advantage of these winter patterns before things really heat up.

    I had a great time fishing with Jesse. I am an experienced fly and spey fisherman from the northwest. My first salt water experience was fishing with Jesse. We were in Florida for a wedding. I spent one day fishing with Jesse. I learned a lot. Her provided first-rate equipment. He was patient with me as my muscle memory kept doing trout sets rather than strip sets. I would fish with him again.

    Roger was very knowledgeable of the bay. He put us on fish right after three very bad cold fronts in Florida. Very clean boat, and fun to talk to.
