We've shot 14 species so far on the season and got our first canvasback of the year this weekend. We got 56 ducks and caught 7 reds in a day and a half! Oversized trout, hungry reds, and limits of ducks for this weekend!

The cooler weather is bringing in some big fish near wrecks and reefs. Fish tend to get a little bigger in the winter months. A variety of snappers and red drum has been on the menu!

Fishing has been great with this colder front moving In. There's lots of bull reds offshore along the wrecks with the red snappers.

    Arturo was fantastic and we had an amazing time. Already looking at when we can get with him again. Seriously had a great time and he taught me some tricks 🤩 i could go on but seriously, don’t hesitate, book with him! Communication from day one, outstanding! We were too busy enjoying his company and expertise, we only took one pic, lol! Thank you Arturo!!

    Had a great time with Captain Arturo! Since most of us were new to saltwater fishing, he did a great job of explaining and teaching us. Captain Arturo was also a fun guy to be on the boat with.
