The bite here lately has been on fire from speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, mangrove snappers and more. We've got a big cold front coming that should move even more sheepshead in.

This year the redfish bite has been exceptional! The first Week I actually missed here in Pensacola because I was in Port Aransas, Tx. Fishing the B.A.S.S Master Redfish Championship where I was paired with Scott Martin. Since returning home the bite has non stop!

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.
