Fishing has been good with light winds. Pods of redfish and black drum have been showing themselves. Trout and flounder can still be caught along the Intracoastal waterway. Mornings have been nice with cooler temperatures it's been nice relief from the heat.

Trip: 1/2 Day Fishing Adventure
★★★★★
My family of 6 (3 teens,3 adults) booked a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Todd and Fernando. They were very knowledgeable and so helpful considering we had zero experience with deep sea fishing and half of us were a little sea sick. My husband and I had an amazing time. Todd knew just where you take us to get the fish and if it was a miss he'd move us along to the next spot . Fernando was so hard working and helpful with myself and the kids. I never once had to bait a hook or remove a fish. He was patient with my family and thoroughly explained how to manovour the reel and exactly what to do. There was a bathroom and air conditioned room if needed. I'd definitely book again.
