Lots of slow-pitch jigging recently! Big sea bass are all over and limiting out on them nearshore has been simple.

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.

Trip: Inshore Saltwater
★★★★★
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!
