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.

Inconsistent weather has us chasing down redfish and the results are good Slower bites then normal in the cold but the fish are just as hungry.

Redfish continue to steal the spot light. As the warm weather continues to heat up our waters the longer the fish are staying active.

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 Pat went out of his way to make sure our trip a huge success. He even went a few minutes over our time just to make sure my 13 year old daughter was able to put that one last fish in the boat. She will remember that moment for the rest of her life thanks to Pats hard work and dedication. I can’t recommend him enough!

One of the hardest working fellows I have ever seen. I cannot believe he was not completely exhausted. Not a great night, but not for lack of effort. We corralled a few flounder and, before dusk set, we caught a few drum and trout. Fine fellow.
