Fishing has remained great. Drum have been steady with the old weather and when the temperatures warm up the trout bite is pretty solid. Reds have been mixed in.

Fort Pierce has been producing very well when the weather allows us to get offshore. Sailfish are in good numbers and are being caught on a regular basis. Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel are also around as well and being caught in good numbers once you find them. There are also a few Wahoo being hooked into as well. The bottom fishing has been nothing short of great with limits of "flag" Lane Snapper being caught as well as some nice Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper and Cobia.

As winter approaches us the artificial bite real fires off. With water temps in the low 60's I've been targeting muddy flats with scattered grass. Reds are still holding to the shoreline with warmer days. Trout have been hanging on the edge of these flats in waist deep water. Look...

Captain Corey was awesome, I definitely recommend using him as a guide! He communicated well before the trip, and morning of. He has a calm demeanor, easy to talk to. He knows good spots, put us on the fish right before a storm. Great trip.

Larry was an absolute rock star!! My previous reservation fell through with another company and he gladly cleared his schedule to take my son and I on our first inshore fishing trip. Lots of fun, education and fish activity. We will definitely be booking with him again.

Trip: Laguna Madre Half Day
★★★★★
We had an outstanding day fishing with Rooster & Braxton on Christmas Eve Day. We limited out on red snappers in a hour with a 12 pound average. Would recommend Rooster as a captain because he is very knowledgeable & patient with novice anglers.

Trip: Captain Daniel's Fish Frenzy
★★★★★
We had a great time with Captain Andrew and team catching fish and navigating the waves. We were put right on the best areas to catch the snapper we were after. Also, when we forgot a jacket onboard in all the excitement of disembarking, Captain Andrew went out of his way to get it back to us. Thank you for helping make my husbands birthday one to remember!

Trip: Flats and Backwaters on Artificials
★★★★★
Got out with Mitch for a buddy's bachelor party and had an absolute blast! Some of the guys hadn't fished in a while (or at all) but Mitch was super patient in showing them the ropes. Mitch fishes super high quality tackle, had plenty of bait, and the boat was running smooth. We ripped it to a number of spots from surf fishing outside the jetties to countless inshore spots. We missed a few bites but had an awesome time, thanks Mitch! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences
