Trout bite has definitely turned back on!! 17 1/4" - 23" on as half day trip. A lot of misses or we'd had time to redfish for a while

Fishing has still been a lil tough with high pressure and high winds but the last 2 days have started picking back up. These boys had never caught a redfish but we managed a few with the best being 27 1/2

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
