Sheephead bite is still strong all over port orange and ponce. Use A jighead with a fiddler crab or a fish finder rig with fresh shrimp. Larger Snook and reds are in the shallows, but with the front coming at the end of the week, it will dirty the water and make it hard to find and catch them. I've been using medium to large shrimp and 3" mud minnows and finger mullet on a 1/8 oz jighead or just free lining them. Night fishing has been great for trout and smaller snook along the docks free lining live shrimp and mullet.

Very knowledgeable guide and was also very personable. Knew where to go and what to do. Was able to get my wife on her first redfish and was able to take us to a honey hole to catch multiple species of fish including sheepshead, snapper, and trout.

Awesome day on the water with my family and Capt. Billy. We caught our red fish limit and he put us on sheephead and other fish all day. It was a memorable day, and I think he was having more fun than all of us. We look forward to getting out again!
