King fish are in thick offshore. Great time of year for multi species bottom fishing. Caught everything from triggerfish to scamp grouper not too far offshore. Inshore, snook and bull reds are in and when you get the tide right you have the chance for a fish of a lifetime.

Redfish bite is cooled off waste week with that cool front and full moon. I am expecting bite to ramp up with the warmer weather. Sea trout and weak fish bite is also getting better. A few whispers of some black drum in the river. Baits of choice have been shrimp under a float and cut finger mullet or pinfish on a bottom rig.

    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!
