Big snook, redfish, sharks, and tarpon highlight the current fishing report. As we get into middle April, the fishing has been heating up weekly and becoming outstanding. With the water finally back firmly in the 70s and close to 80 degrees, the bait is plentiful. Lots of quality mangrove snapper, big jack crevalle, and sheepshead are also bring smiles, and pulling drags!

With plentiful bait comes big snook. We are hooking at least one really big fish on every trip, and on most trips we are hammering the mid size, and smaller snook. to put it into perspective, in terms of freshwater fishing back home for many folks, its like catching a dozen 2 – 3 pound bass or walleye, that fight twice as hard, with the opportunity to catch a huge one.

The big redfish have also been gobbling up bait bending rods, and ripping drags right along with the snook. We haven’t been doing anything specific for the redfish, they are just on the move with the warming water and the oncoming burst of life the water brings every spring and early summer. This time of year, the big reds seem to be in the same spots as the big snook, which adds to the intrigue when you see a huge boil and hear that drag start squealing.

    Dominic was our captain. We had a wonderful time and caught a number and a variety of fish. I have a difficult time walking and getting out of the boat. Dom soent at least an additional 2 hours for my brother to locate a wheelchair and get me back on the dock. A true professional is Dominic!!

    Best fishing trip everrrrrrr! we got 9 snappers that we could bring home and eat! Besides those we could keep, we got countless amounts of small snappers we won a Guinness world record for the smallest snapper in our family history. Plus, we caught and released 3 catfish and a jellyfish! Thank you Captain Tim! (From the birthday boy :))

    Tyler is probably the best guide my wife and I have ever had. He was very attentive. He knew where the fish were and he was right there with bait or to get us un snagged or to help us pull in the big one you can’t go wrong with Tyler I promise.

    Edwin was a great captain. Fished with my two young sons and Edwin kept it appropriate for them. Made sure we saw some action and kept it safe. Definitely would recommend him to anyone going out on the water near Marco or Naples.
