The tarpon bite has been on fire. 🔥 Lots of migratory fish showing up, makes for a lot of options on where and how we can target them. Cut and live bait in the mornings, and crabs around the last full moon in the afternoon/ evenings. We have some nice mangrove snapper around if you are looking for table fare, and the snook redfish and trout have remained steady if you are looking for a fun easy catch and release bite.

The water temperatures are perfect and the bite is on. Everything is biting snook and redfish are exploding on scaled sardines, large trout have been in good numbers. The mackerel bite has been great with fish up to 27 inches!

Tarpon and permit fishing is on fire right now, and it’s the perfect time to get on the water. Big tarpon are rolling and feeding hard, giving you a real shot at an unforgettable fight, while nearshore permit are showing up in numbers and ready to eat.
This is prime time—these opportunities don’t last long, and the bite has been as good as it gets. If you’ve been thinking about chasing tarpon or checking a permit off the list, now’s your window.
Spots are filling fast, so don’t wait. Reach out and lock in your tarpon and permit trip while...

The spring bite is on! Snook, trout and redfish are biting on the inshore seen and rock piles out in Tampa bay are producing sheepshead and large mackerel.

What an unforgettable experience!! We had so much fun and caught so many fish with Captain George- I’m also pretty sure he might actually be a fish whisperer! He was so personable and accommodating. We have fallen in love with this area and can’t wait to come back next year- and you can bet that we will definitely be booking another fishing trip! Thanks for the memories, Captain George!!
Wonderful time on the water. Captain George was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and active in catching all types of inshore fish. Definitely would use again.
We had a great morning on the water with Captain George. He put us over fish right away. First cast went into the cooler! He was very knowledgeable and courteous. We enjoyed our time on his boat!
We had an absolutely amazing time with Captain George! We had several other fishermen passing through that were going on about how it was a “tough day” but not with Captain George!! He put us right on the fish! He was always aware of his surroundings, watching the schools of bait fish, and making sure we were in the most optimal spot. He was very knowledgeable about all of the species we caught throughout the day. We were having such a blast that we added an extra hour to onto our trip, which is when he put us on to the BIGGEST Spanish Mackerel I’ve ever seen!! Just to top it off, he was also very kind and caring. He never lost patience with me when he kept having to cast my pole into difficult spots, and he made sure to remind us to drink plenty of water and reapply sunscreen. At the end of the trip, as he was cleaning our fish, I began to overheat and he knew EXACTLY what to do. He stayed calm, let us stay for a while as I regained my strength, and even checked on me later on in the day. What an amazing experience, captain, and day!! 10/10! We will be fishing with Captain George when we are back this way, and will be referring all of our friends and family!
