Water is up , tide levels are high and fish are scattered. Cut bait fresh mullet or ballyhoo are working best. Lures are also catching redfish and trout. Live shrimp with a popping cork is also good. Live croaker is now an option for the summer. Awesome bait for speckled trout. Live shrimp and live croaker cost to the guest. Cut bait mullet and ballyhoo also cost a few dollars. Let's go fishing and book a trip with Captain Fred Rodriguez

Been doing lots of fishing but been bad at the picture taking! Spring fishing is solid. Starting to be fish under birds, mudding pods of reds and large trout on shoreline pockets. Fly fishing has been great for reds, drum and Snook along with shots at some giant trout. As...

The bay fishing has remained good throughout the past couple weeks. Catching some nice boxes of fish on artificial lures and fresh cut bait. The windier spring weather has created some good fishing conditions for redfish out on our grass flats. Actually have had a lot of productive days targeting redfish because of the warmer windier weather patterns. Gold spoons, soft plastics mimicking shrimp or mullet, and fresh cut mullet have been slamming the reds. The speckled trout bite has been a little slower but still catching some solid specks of soft plastics. Once the wind dies the speckled trout bite will come back to life. Probably be real good towards the end of May. Some schools of drum are popping up for those who like to target them. Should be another good month of fishing. My schedule is filling up quickly...

Fishing has been great even with the wind blowing! The bite has continued to be good, even though the wind has been blowing. Soft plastics have been producing nice trout and up shallow gold spoons have been what the reds have been wanting!

Trip: Fly Fish For Redfish
★★★★★
We enjoyed our fishing time with Captain Ron.He has a great amount of knowledge of the bay, so much so we began catching trout with the first cast and caught our limit within a very short time. Although we are experiencing high gas prices right now, there was no hesitation on Captain Ron's part to get where we needed to go to catch fish. We found Captain Ron very pleasant to be with and always willing to share his knowledge of fishing. We look forward to another fishing trip with him as soon as we can.

My Dad and I had a great day of fishing. Although there was rain around Captain Romey was able to put us on some fish while avoiding the rain. We were fortunate enough to land a 40 inch Red on light tackle which was the CHERRY on top of this day.

Rey was an absolute great captain, very knowledgeable, very confident, professional, allowed us to have an awesome time. Knew his was around the boat and water. Helped us catch some great fish. I had my 4 year old along, who loves to fish and Rey was great with him as well. I would recommend anyone to go with him.

All I can say is this was a great trip. Alfonso worked his tail off trying to find some clear water in 20 to 25 mph winds but we managed to get 3 fish. Even with all the winds my wife and I loved the experience with Alfonso. You can tell his passion is fishing and teaching you all he knows about Flounder gigging. We will be using Alfonso again and hopefully less winds next time.
