Fishing has gotten hot. Winds have been blowing for weeks and has kept us out of the ocean. We have been inshore fishing which has been producing flounder, redfish, specked trout, lady fish and some black drum. Top water bites have been fun early and as the sun gets up...

Had a great time with David and Keith yesterday. Reds got Pickey. Had em all around us they just wouldn't chew but they got a few flounder and the biggest one they ever saw. Just over 6lbs.

My 10y/o son and I were looking to catch our first redfish and learn how to do it ourselves in the future. Michael was phenomenal! Not only did he get us on the fish, but he was a true professional and kind hearted teacher. He broke down each spot and the techniques needed to catch em. It was an all around exceptional experience; we will certainly be using Michael again for some spring time action!

Couldn’t go on charter due to problems with the boat, however I need to give a shout out to captain Drew, who found us a very last minute replacement to make our trip a big success with captain Mason thank you very much

Drew was a phenomenal guide. Myself and a friend were able to smoke 3 redfish between us thanks to his tips. Drew was super patient and extremely knowledgeable. As a more novice fisherman, he was very good at teaching basic casting and presentation techniques with artificial lures. This was a great introduction to fishing from a vessel without the stress of a large multi-party charter. Worth every penny!

We had a fantastic time. Caught lots of fish and enjoyed talking to Jason. He put us on fish immediately and moved to another location if the fish stopped biting. Never had time to eat the snacks we brought. Will book with Jason the next time we go fishing
