April has been a good month, lots of good fish being caught right now. We have been catching some nice triggerfish and some big snapper. Looking forward to the next few months. Book your trip and let's catch 'em and make some great memories!

The Trout and Pompano bite is hot! Clear clean water from the incoming tides bring the pomp's in hot around the passes, jetties and the beaches. The trout have been inshore on structure and really biting good when the water is moving. If the tide is coming in strong early in the mornings this is the best time to catch the bigger ones around structure. Tight lines and bent rods y'all!

The fishing has been good offshore and will just get better as the weather warms up. Vermillion snapper and Trigger fish have been the dinner table targets but you catch plenty of different fish. Weather has been a big factor but it's getting better all the time.

The Spanish are back! The Sheepshead and bull redfish bite has been epic this past month. I'm noticing those sheepshead bites are starting to slow down a bit. However, the Spanish Mackeral bite is hotter than ever. We are slow trolling tree rigs just outside the pass and catching 3-4 mackerel at a time. A little bit farther out on the reefs we are catching some early season red snappers and triggerfish on almost every drop. Several good Cobia are starting to be caught, so we are hoping for a strong early season bite to be picking up here in April and May.

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!

    Tough trip this morning. Got on a few big trout early, but tough fishing. Mitch was an absolute excellent captain. Took great care of our crew. We really enjoyed the day with him and look forward to another trip.

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Guide Service

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. James went above and beyond to make our trip the most memorable first trip for our 8 yr old granddaughter. Him and his first mate answer the 1000 questions every 8 yr old asked with a smile on there face . We caught plenty of fish and took time to take all the pictures with the dolphins . The catamaran style boat is smooth in the water helping to make this first experience a great memory.
