The bite has been productive. Inshore and nearshore bite has produced snappers that will reopen Jan 1. The redfish snook and trout are gorging on white bait before the water gets too cold. Good fishing good fun filling coolers

Nearshore and inshore fishing has been on fire. We have been seeing some big schools of redfish moving through our waters. Snook are cruising the rocks in the jetties. Nearshore fishing has been fun. Gag groupers, lane snappers, mangroves and muttons too! Super fun on light tackle!

The Fall temperatures are coming down along with Gulf temps bringing in many species of gamefish within casting distance from the shore. Expect snook, flounder, Redfish, Black drum, Sheepshead and others congregating in shallow water beach 🏖️ structures that you can walk to and fish. The beach is a great place to learn how to saltwater fish if you're new to the sport or a seasoned pro looking for a different approach than your usual boat trip. Remember, seasickness is never a concern, so you can focus entirely on fishing and fun 🎣. Tight lines from the beach!

    I had 5 teens with little to no experience fishing. They caught a lot of fish , learned a few life lessons, and most of all had a great time .

    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.

    Bill is an excellent captain and under his guidance my 8 year old son and I had a blast fishing. I was hoping for a relaxing first big water trip for my son and Bill delivered exactly that. All fishing and safety equipment was provided and we had great conversations. The only bad part of the trip was that it had to come to an end.
