Bottom has started to slow down closer to shore but the trolling has helped make up for it. Almaco jacks are becoming more consistent on the bottom. Barracudas and Mackerel have been making appearances on the troll.

This is great if you are targeting them but otherwise they are going to bite you off. Tarpon still very active with mixes of 20-40 lb fish and 100lb plus fish. Bull reds are increasing in size by the day with some nice bags of mangrove snapper and...

    We had an amazing fishing trip with Billy! All our 6 year old wanted to do on our Florida trip was go fishing and this was perfect. He was very patient, experienced, knowledgeable and told some fun stories. Highly recommend if you're looking for the best guide!

    Aaron is a lights out captain. Goes the extra mile and is funny and keeps things light and fun. My boys and I celebrated my birthday with 2 of the biggest reds of his season which was an awesome experience! Highly recommended.

    Todd brought us to the spot and we started catching right away. Got enough to feed 6 the next day. He is always baiting the hook or doing something for us. I would love to go with him again. David Doyle

    Very knowledgeable guide and was also very personable. Knew where to go and what to do. Was able to get my wife on her first redfish and was able to take us to a honey hole to catch multiple species of fish including sheepshead, snapper, and trout.

    The four of us had a great time fishing with Captain Todd! We did a quick morning trip and it was just enough for all of us to catch a handful of fish. Todd was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Would definitely go again!

    Todd was great! Very informative regarding species of fish being caught. He cleaned our fish we kept as well. It was awesome being able to eat fresh catch same day! We will definitely make this an annual event during our beach trip from now on.
