The bay fishing has been good recently. Catching some solid speckled trout in deeper water. Larger lures and soft plastics that resemble larger bait fish are producing some hard strikes. The redfishing has remained good throughout the past couple of months. Except one week when we received a crazy amount of rain. The fishing has stabilized since that rain storm. Both soft plastics and fresh cut bait have remained good choices for redfish. Shrimp and mullet colored worms are working for me. Expect the trout bite too only get better through out the next couple of weeks.

    We had such a fantastic time with Tim! We took the half-day tour, and we even wrapped it up early because we had limited out on Trout. Tim was such a great and funny guide, showing us how and where to throw the bait/lures so we could catch fish—and we did! I would definitely recommend Tim for your next fishing trip to SPI. We’re always booking with Tim when we’re back here.

    Arturo was fantastic and we had an amazing time. Already looking at when we can get with him again. Seriously had a great time and he taught me some tricks 🤩 i could go on but seriously, don’t hesitate, book with him! Communication from day one, outstanding! We were too busy enjoying his company and expertise, we only took one pic, lol! Thank you Arturo!!

    Trip: Full Or Half Day Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time fishing with Joshua. The sunrise ride out was perfect. In spite of it being a little windy, the day was all we could ask for. An opportunity to check out of this crazy world, come into direction connection with your maker and enjoy fishing, like it was meant to be. Josh got us on fish early and we experienced a healthy haul of snapper. We caught a couple strawberry grouper and a king and a half. Can't out fish the shark. If you're looking for an opportunity to check out, you can do so safely and comfortably with Joshua.

    Trip: Full Day Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time with Cappy! He was very patient with us, since we were beginners to deep sea fishing. He took time to explain the boat, equipment, what we were fishing for, where and why. We had a lot of fun! Saw some dolphins, a sea turtle. Most importantly though we caught a lot of fish. Not all were keepers but we kept him hoppin' between my husband and I reeling them in. Definitely an experience we recommend and will do again.
