Yellow Jack fishing has been very consistent over the past few weeks. Live bait such as pinfish or pilchards has been producing best, but anglers are also catching them on bucktail jigs and topwater lures. These hard-fighting jacks put up a great battle and are excellent table fare.
The inshore snapper bite is red hot right now. Using live or cut bait, anglers are catching plenty of legal snapper in the shallow waters.
A few cobia have started to show up, but the large numbers we’ve seen in recent years haven’t arrived just yet.

It's these times we look forward to, the fish are biting no matter where you go. Out in the gulf the mackerel are biting very good along with snappers and the shallows around the mainland and islands the snook are also biting well and accompanying them redfish and tarpon and around town there's a bite of snappers and jacks and a few mackerel. I believe the bite is just going to continue so we're very excited to get some folks out there.

    I’ve been on many charter fishing trips in my life, but Bryan is hands down my favorite guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows these waters inside and out. The highlight of the trip was catching a monstrous 300-400lb shark—an experience I will never forget, and one that wouldn't have happened without the Captain’s expertise and help. Beyond the fishing, Bryan is just a fun, personable guy to hang out with. I really appreciated his coaching style; he taught us exactly what to do and then stepped back to let us actually fish, only jumping in with pointers when needed. I can’t recommend him enough and will definitely be back for another trip!

    Our captain was Steve. Knew the area, put us on fish and helped everyone to have a good time. Helped us clean the catch. An occasional smile wouldn't hurt, but that's beside the point.
