The redfish bite is hot right now in Port Orange to Flagler Beach. The fish are moving up chasing mullet and other small bait fish on the oysterbars. Water keeps getting warmer, and the snappers are heating up with it. I am starting to see small Spanish mackerel and ladyfish in the river and around ponce. Spring is definitely in the air.

Redfish bite is hot, sheephead is still strong but size is going down as the water temps warm up. This brings on the snapper bite. Magic # is 72 degrees for the snappers. Sharks have invaded the shallows, where they range from 2 to 4 '. Baits of choice have been shrimp, mud minnows and live finger mullet of you can find them.

Offshore trips have been great. Less fish on the 4-hour trips and more fish on the 6-8-hour trips.

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.

    Christian was great! My family had a wonderful time and would most definitely go again, but probably for a longer trip so we could fish more.

    Captain Christian was fantastic. From.the time i booked until we were loading up the boat, he was always responsive and pleasant. He was prepared with many poles as there was 6 of us. He had fresh bait and lots of addition items needed for fishing. We were not super successful in catching many fish we could keep, Captain was good at taking us to many spots and trying different techniques. We had a wonderful time regardless! We would 10/10 reccomend!!

    Was awesome experience. We caught a lot of fish, and mixed bag to boot. The best was our last catch, which was a shark. Highly recommend booking with Christian, which I will again.
