Bait is still solid in Charlotte harbor. Still plenty of big and small tarpon. Snook are plentiful as they begin their usual migration up the rivers and are fattening up. 50 to 60 FISH days are common right now and it will continue until we get our first cold front. Going forward we will concentrate on trout and sheepshead when it does cool down, but as long as the water temperatures remain good almost everything will bite

We have officially entered our fall bite season, redfish have started to school up and the migratory and river tarpon are in the harbor and they are biting! We have been catching many tarpon over 150lbs. The juvenile tarpon bite has been excellent with some beautiful snook mixed in too, come on down to Florida and make some fishing memories that will last forever

The bite is on fire in charlotte harbor, the river tarpon have moved down into the harbor and the gulf fish have moved in too. Snook are done spawning and chewing hard! Redfish will be schooling up soon, the opportunities are endless

As we approach late fall we will enter what is my favorite time to target tarpon with a fly rod, big and small!

    Captain Scotty was fantastic! He knew all the best spots! We caught several different types of fish and lots of them! Highly recommend! Super successful trip!

    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.
