The snook are big and hungry and the most effective method of targeting them is sight fishing large live baits 🎣.

unique and adventurous twist to guided fishing tours.
Other species like Seatrout, Black drum, Pompano, Sheepshead, whiting and ladyfish are also cooperating.
With the mid summer underway, I recommend getting out earlier like 8 or 8:30AM to beat the heat 🥵.

    Brian was amazing! He was great with our son and we loved the flexibility of the excursion. It was one of the highlights of our trip for sure, and will be great family memories for the future. We have absolutely nothing negative to say - if you’re thinking about booking, do it!

    My family had an amazing experience. Brian was very personable and took us to some great spots. We caught some big grouper and lots of grunt fish. I would absolutely go back out on the water with him and his crew.
