The fishing has been good offshore and will just get better as the weather warms up. Vermillion snapper and Trigger fish have been the dinner table targets but you catch plenty of different fish. Weather has been a big factor but it's getting better all the time.

The Spanish are back! The Sheepshead and bull redfish bite has been epic this past month. I'm noticing those sheepshead bites are starting to slow down a bit. However, the Spanish Mackeral bite is hotter than ever. We are slow trolling tree rigs just outside the pass and catching 3-4 mackerel at a time. A little bit farther out on the reefs we are catching some early season red snappers and triggerfish on almost every drop. Several good Cobia are starting to be caught, so we are hoping for a strong early season bite to be picking up here in...

This 6 hour fishing charter was on the tail end of a cold front. With that we had some wind and some bigger than normal seas but this crew toughed it out! There main focus was to keep what they caught so we targeted vermilion snapper and trigger fish that were in season. We also caught some red snapper that went back. All in all I good day with some great people!

Well spring is working it's way here. The weather is warming up and the fishing is heating up with it. Inshore the sheepshead bite is still pretty hot on the jetties and bridge pilings. Drop a shrimp or a fiddler on a jig and hold on. Nearshore Bonita schools are boiling the waters already. Look for birds working and throw a gotcha plug into the water and hold on for a great fight. If targeting triggerfish and snapper, they are already schooled up on any bottom structure you can find. Drop a chicken rig with some cut squid, cigar minnow,...

If targeting triggerfish and snapper, they are already schooled up on any bottom structure you can find. Drop a chicken rig with some cut squid, cigar minnow, or any other cut bait and you should get bit pretty quick. With the red tide affecting our southern waters, Pensacola may be a place to go. So far we have had not been impacted and our fishery is solid and looking good for the season.

    We went out with Daniel who was a great guide! He put us onto fish very quickly and we caught a lot of fish. Daniel was very knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend him for a fishing trip.

    One of the best of guides i've experienced in a while. He's has a down to earth attitude and was able to maintain a great balance of working with kids and adults. Tyler put us in the right places to produce a lot of great memories for my son and myself while we were out on the water. 10 outta 10; would recommend.
