Fishing is on fire with redfish and snook. The super shallow bite is getting better and better every day. Sight cast fisherman's dream. Also the sheephead bite is still strong as well.

Big Ugly Fight I knew once the warmer weather came in id have abother shot at this Big black drum that ive been trying to get on my last 4 charters and finally got him. I waited to get him on an incoming tide right by a piling on top of an oyster bed. We were getting bites on the prawn and big live shrimp an finally nailed him. My charter client who was 71 years old was so happy! Took a team effort but we got em. I usually can get them on high tide at the bridges. He was caught on the pass piling of the Dunlawton bridge.

We had a great day on the water. The bite was tough but Billy still got us some fish and we had a blast. We fished a lot of different spots and techniques all day. Will definitely book with Billy again when we come back.

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!

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!
