Fishing's been great! There's tons of shrimp in the creek so we've been throwing the cast nut on the way out and getting a bunch of shrimp and taking them out and catching bonnet, head, sharks, red fish lady fish, and several Pompano, which is rare for us up here. The weather is cooling off so perfect. Temps for fishing and fun on the water.

Fall fishing is getting started. We should have a couple more weeks on tarpon. The bull redfish are showing up in big numbers. The regular fall meat fishing is happening with a lot of slot limit redfish, black drum and trout. We have caught 100 plus fish on a lot of trips and it should just keep getting better through October into November.

Spanish mackerel have been thick off the beaches and provide great action when weather permits. Seasonal jack crevalle are also around. "Rat reds" have shown up. Big reds are stressed from the heat and bite best early in the morning

    We had a great trip with Capt. Tyler. He was extremely knowledgeable of the waterway and had key locations that put our entire family on fish. He was also great with our 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Keeping us all entertained between the bites. Would highly recommend!!

    We had a fantastic time seeing the dolphins come right up to the boat. And watching my grandson and granddaughter in their glory catching some sharks and other fish. Cory really knew his stuff… we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
