Cold weather is bringing in larger schools of fish near shore. Sea trout are in abundance. This time of year you will find black drum gathering in holes as the tide goes out. 64 fish were caught this pass Sunday- 2 adults and 1 child

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.

    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.
