Fishing has been great to kick off the year. The reds are schooled up inshore and the sheepshead have began to move out to the nearshore reefs. Offshore has never slowed down for bottom fishing. Black Sea bass are thick.

With the temps dropping and the water clearing up, the redfish have schooled up really nice and the trout are on fire. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and happy new year!

Blackfin tuna have been thick out at the ledge. Spinning rods is my go-to tackle in targeting them with live bait. Wahoo have been hit or miss.

The fall inshore fishing is really heating up!The bull reds are staging at the inlets and jetties for their annual spawn and will readily take live or fresh cut mullet. The flats fishing has been great and will only get better as the mullet and shrimp begin to leave with the cooling water. The bait of choice has been live finger mullet. The speckled trout bite has been good on live shrimp and artificials. Look for the trout to really bunch up through November and December. The best fishing of the year is the next couple of months. Get out there!

    We had an absolute blast on our inshore fishing excursion with Captain Carlo. He was knowledgable about the area, knew the best spots to put us on top of the fish, and shared some great stories along the way. He was extremely attentive to anything we needed, had the bait on the hook before we knew we needed it, and made sure we were having fun at all times. Look forward to the next trip!

    Hayden did a great job making us feel comfortable, helping teach us, and was a pleasure to be around. We had a tough day out there, to no fault of Hayden. He was a true professional when we havi g trouble getting bites and did a great job getting us to other locations.

    We had a fantastic experience fishing with Captain David. He was extremely personable, he had great communication and was very knowledgeable about the area. He was clear on what the plan for the day was and was quick to adapt to changing conditions. Captain David put us on the fish and helped create a memorable experience! We will definitely use him again on our next visit.

    We had an amazing 3-hour inshore fishing trip Easter morning with Captain Carlos! From start to finish, he was punctual, communicative, and incredibly accommodating, keeping us informed with helpful texts and making everything easy. It was just me, my 32-year-old son, and my 18-year-old daughter, and he truly made the experience special for each of us. He was patient, energetic, and so friendly, never once showing frustration, just making sure we were all having a great time. It was a perfect outing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. We will book with Carlo again in the future! Highly recommend!
