Fishing has been tough on the weekends due to excessive Fishing pressure. However, the fish are biting in the out of the way spots. Finding clear-ish water, baitfish and current is the key.

A lot of bigger trout wading have been showing up in East Bay. Along with some bigger schools of reds out on the flats making for easy sight casting. Spring fish is right around the corner and by the looks of it it's going to be a great season.

Captain Jay is absolutely amazing! My husband and I just got home from our 5hr trip and we couldn’t be more pleased. Jay is informative, funny, and makes you feel incredibly comfortable on the water. His vast knowledge of fishing left us with new techniques that we’ll be able to use from here on out. If you’re looking for a stellar guide for you or your family/friends, don’t look any further. Jay is definitely your guy. We will absolutely book with him again! -Anna and Cian

Captain Scott is absolutely Bbbaadd to the bone, in a great way. He was very attentive, super clean boat, very helpful on how to real in Amber Jack's, which helped a lot because that fish will fight you every second. He took outstanding videos and pictures. He took me to great spots to catch mahi mahi and amber Jack's. I couldn't have asked for a better trip or captain. The mahi mahi fish tacos are absolutely fire as well.
