Fishing has been spectacular! Flounder are being caught on the intracoastal. Slot reds being caught in dirty water on cut bait and artificials. The trout bite is on fire in the early morning and late evening on live shrimp and popping corks. Drums excellent on dead shrimp on out going tides.

Fishing has continued to remain consistent. Trout have been great early along deeper grass lines and rock beds throwing croaker and shrimp. Reds are showing up in the flats in big schools and are getting ready to make their spawn run. Flounder have been on channel edges in big numbers. Drum have also been showing up around spoil islands. They have been easy to spot. Dead shrimp on a 1/16 to 1/8 ounce jig head has shown great results.

August has arrived signifying the heat is still on and this tends to be the hottest month for South Florida. If you can’t beat the heat, at least beat the fish in a tug of war match.
Windy conditions for the local palm beaches continued until the end of this past weekend, finally giving anglers a reprieve from turbulent conditions.
Snook fishing has been excellent along channel edges, docks, and sea walls. Moving water equals hungry fish. Live baits and DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail have been the baits of choice. Snook are ranging in size from 2 to 25 pounds.
Tarpon fishing has been hit and miss past week. I believe slower bite contributed to south wind and dirty water. Incoming tide cleaner water fish seemed to be happier taking live baits and DOA Terror Eyz worked along the bottom.
Deep holes and channel edges still offering jacks, bluefish, mackerel, snapper, sharks and many other species. Live baits great way to get fish fired up, but top water Rapala skitter walks and DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail also trigger strikes.

With the tide being so low the fish have been staging along deeper drop off and trash lines. Look for bigger schools of mullet in these areas and/or slicks popping up. The trout have been great on croaker, the reds are feeding on piggies and cut mullet, the flounder and...

With the tide being so low the fish have been staging along deeper drop off and trash lines. Look for bigger schools of mullet in these areas and/or slicks popping up. The trout have been great on croaker, the reds are feeding on piggies and cut mullet, the flounder and drum have both been coming on live shrimp.

Fishing has been real good on croker for trout and live shrimp under popping cork. Trout bite hit hard early morning on croker, and live shrimp later morning. Top water lures early morning have been good as well for trout. Reds have been getting more plentiful. Cutt bait using skipjack...

Fishing has been real good on croker for trout and live shrimp under popping cork. Trout bite hit hard early morning on croker, and live shrimp later morning. Top water lures early morning have been good as well for trout.
Reds have been getting more plentiful. Cutt bait using skipjack or mullet, after 10:30am as been working well.
I have had a lot of luck on popping cork early with live shrimp.
Black drum on dead shrimp has been good, just have to find the school of them

Trout fishing has continued to be outstanding, free-lining live croaker in 3-4ft of water. Redfish and black drum are schooled up on the surface and can be very easily sight-casted with a live shrimp!

The fishing could not be any better here on our beautiful Laguna Madre! We are catching good numbers of redfish in the slot range and oversized in the flats on lures and bait. Come fishing with Captain Mick and let him guide you on a trip of a lifetime!
