The winter bite has been consistent, good numbers of sheepshead, whiting and weakfish have been keeping customers busy, weather in the mornings has been a bit cool by our Florida standards and picking the spots to fish in the wind can be challenging this time of year but overall it has been a good last 10 days

The snook bite has been really good the last couple of weeks with the warm weather. The water has been gin clear with lots of schooling reds and trout. The potential for a solid inshore slam is daily

Winter is upon us. As we experience cold weather and cold water Temps. The redfish and other fish are schooling up in numbers as a captain happy and excited to see. I have some days available to come catch fish and enjoy a beautiful day on the water.

It hasn’t gotten cold enough yet to really school up the fish but they are starting to gather and when you catch one stop there will usually be more. Today we caught Nemours trout of various sizes and one red all around the same area and with bait gathered. Light color paddletail baits and live shrimp seem to be the key but live finger mullet will also work.

Well since hurricane Ian we have had very high murky water. But that’s ok because the bite had been good. This time of year is our transition period so that makes the fish spread out. We have been throwing lots of soft plastic swim baits , pop n corks with live shrimp, and some top water as well. Come join the fun and let’s catch some nice reds, trout , snook, and black drum.

Mosquito Lagoon is a one of a kind estuary where the Red Fish spend their entire life. Unlike regular reds that migrate and go offshore to breed this particular type is born here and spends its entire life here. With the loss of habitat in the past 8 years the numbers have been going down significantly which is why the catch and release only regulations for the entire Indian River system.

While the fishing for Bull Reds hasn't been what was expected this time of year the other species have been really active. Night fishing at the causeways has been good for Snook with an occasional Red. I had a charter with international customers following Icast last week and they caught 19 species. One was the monster Barracuda which ate another one which was a permit the customer had battled for 5 minutes and had to the boat twice before it became bait. The reds have been there during prime tide times. Still getting some slot size reds in the lagoon...

    Captain Billy is awesome. He goes above and beyond to ensure you have a great time. He put us on numerous fish as we weaved and darted all thru the area fishing inland waters for snook and redfish. If you want a great time on the water, ask for Captain Billy.

    First charter experience and wasn’t sure what we’d get on a cold December day but Brad delivered. He was prepared and ready to go and we had a shark on the boat in the first 10 minutes. Brad and Ryan were great and we had over a dozen sharks of multiple breeds in the few hours we were out. Great experience and we will look to use Brad again in the future.

    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

    We had a lot of fun! Liam was very professional and very patient! Our son gets “uninterested” quickly, but Liam did his best to keep him engaged and fishing! He made sure we caught a variety of fish. We caught puffers, sheepshead, lady fish, red snapper, catfish and a stingray. We couldn’t keep any, as they were too small or not good to eat, but he made sure he put us on them and that we were catching something! He even let our son “drive” the boat! Will definitely schedule again! Thanks Liam!
