The trolling for Spanish Mackerel has just started biting well, we have also been catching some sheepshead on the shallow wrecks. The Bottom fishing has been good for vermilion snapper,white snapper, some triggerfish and lane snapper. The sea conditions and weather has been less than favorable but will soon turn for the better and be more like spring. Let’s go fishing!

This 6 hour fishing charter was on the tail end of a cold front. With that we had some wind and some bigger than normal seas but this crew toughed it out! There main focus was to keep what they caught so we targeted vermilion snapper and trigger fish that were in season. We also caught some red snapper that went back. All in all I good day with some great people!

Sheepshead bite is absolutely on fire right now! The pompano have shown up in good numbers too. Redfish and an occasional speckled trout have been put on ice in the past week. Spring had sprung and they are biting!

Well spring is working it's way here. The weather is warming up and the fishing is heating up with it. Inshore the sheepshead bite is still pretty hot on the jetties and bridge pilings. Drop a shrimp or a fiddler on a jig and hold on. Nearshore Bonita schools are boiling the waters already. Look for birds working and throw a gotcha plug into the water and hold on for a great fight. If targeting triggerfish and snapper, they are already schooled up on any bottom structure you can find. Drop a chicken rig with some cut squid, cigar minnow,...

If targeting triggerfish and snapper, they are already schooled up on any bottom structure you can find. Drop a chicken rig with some cut squid, cigar minnow, or any other cut bait and you should get bit pretty quick. With the red tide affecting our southern waters, Pensacola may be a place to go. So far we have had not been impacted and our fishery is solid and looking good for the season.

Redfish and Sheepshead are really starting to show up good. A few Pompano are also in the mix from time to time. Springtime fishing is my absolute favorite time of year to go! Never know what you'll reel in until it's in the net!

First trip of the year was a success! Had the pleasure of taking this family from Minnesota offshore this week. Found some nice Beeliners and caught and release over 40 red snapper. Weather is warming up so let’s get out on the water and have some fun.

    Blake accommodated our location by coming 30 minutes closer to Navarre, great start. We fought some wind but overall had a great afternoon. Blake was very knowledgeable and courteous to my two young boys, which for me ensures he’ll get our business again. The highlight of the day was our rescue of a pelican wrapped up in fishing line, absolutely amazing to see and watch Blake in his element, saving wildlife. A hands on miracle!

    Trip: Inshore Fishing In Orange Beach

    My experience with Captain James was phenomenal! If you want a fishing trip that doesn’t feel like a fishing trip, but more like a hang with some friends you haven’t seen for a bit while you’re fishing, this is the one for you. Very helpful for our inexperienced fishers, and still had plenty of knowledge to go around for the experienced ones. Anytime I go charter fishing, I will be exclusively using Captain James!

    We just had the best day of our vacation. Captain James was a delight!!! He was super courteous, taking care of any needs we had. He offered up drinks and snacks as well as knowledge and a bit of history on Fort Pickens. WE HAD A BLAST! Thank you Captain James, you are much appreciated and we will see you again the next time around!

    Amazing time! After picking us up from being double booked elsewhere, then after a ride that was cancelled due to mechanical issues, and having to work around weather and conference schedules... he & his deckhand, Vic, made up for the chaos! Energetic, good music, good convo on downtime. Safe ride out, took us where we were sure to catch something after all the crazy and we did!!! Bait was always on the hook, great instruction & kind with pointers! Got us back safely and timed it perfect with the rain! HIGHLY recommend!

    We went out with Daniel who was a great guide! He put us onto fish very quickly and we caught a lot of fish. Daniel was very knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend him for a fishing trip.
