We've been running back to Glades for Snook when the wind allows us to. Voodoo shrimp and DOA have been money. It's been hit or miss around downtown Islamorada on Permit and Tarpon. In the next few weeks, it should be getting good.

Fishing has been great in the Galveston complex—redfish and trout in the back bays. It's been very windy here. But still catching fish in the backwaters to book a trip call Captain Experience.

What's Biting in Galveston

We enjoyed the fishing trip with Ralph. He tried really hard to get us to where the fish were biting.

First time fishing with Captain Jay and what a great trip! Probably the most fish I have ever caught on a single trip. He was extremely knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Fished under birds and caught back to back Trout all morning that were just undersized. Jay knew we wanted keepers so we kept fishing till we got on a sand Trout honey hole. Captain Jay was kind enough to extend our trip so we could keep filling the ice chest. Thank you Cap! Look forward to our next trip with you.

Mike was a super guide. He worked hard for us. Unfortunately we only got 2 keepers But, if it wasn't for Mike's eagle eye would not have gotten those. I'll definitely book with Mike again one day.
