Water is in the mid ti upper 40s, reds are schooled up in the shallows and rivers in big numbers. Bite is great when they decide to chew!

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

Fishing has been very good inshore and offshore. Offshore the grouper bite is fantastic and that will last through December. People should take advantage of it! I know how to find em.

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!
