    Temperatures are warming up in Florida and we are getting ready for Spring Break! The warmer water has brought a strong bite. Inshore Grouper has picked up as well as every other species after the deep freeze we had in early January. Inshore I'm concentrating around docks and structure, and lately have been trolling deep diver lures.

    Warming water has heated up pre-spring fishing With the approach of springtime coming, the fish have been on the move on this warming trend just two weeks ago we were still fixed and a solid winter pattern with excellent catches on hogfish grouper and snapper at winter depth of 45 to 55 feet. There's literally low tides and high skies made for some nice sight fishing opportunities in shore. For some bruiser size cobia When the water rises after these low morning tides The snook and redfish have been to target in the afternoon Using live greenbacks Speckled chop fishing has kept everything going all winter long with greenbacks and shrimp plenty of keeper trout may December and January a big hit with clients that wanted to keep fish. Well, it seems like spring is right around the corner and we should get into some of our best fishing of the year. Let's get you booked in for another great Captains experience

    2024 Fishing Update Fall Season is one of the best seasons for fishing, as many fish are migrating towards warmer waters. Not only that, but there are usually fewer people on the water, and the weather is relatively mild. So, if you still need to plan a fall fishing trip, take this as your sign to do so! We have been Delivering The Results & Exceeding Expectations for over 16 years Tampa / St. Pete / Clearwater, Florida, is a fantastic fishing spot during the autumn months. With plenty of bays, inlets, and crystal-clear water, inshore fishing is incredible & being FULLY Credentialized & Holding ALL Federal Permits Offshore is ideal for significant results. During the fall season, you can land Spanish Mackerel, big Red Grouper, Hog Fish, Wahoo, Snapper and Cobia – among other Pelagic Species. Plus, it's a great time to catch Kingfish offshore, as they're in the middle of their annual migration thru December which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts looking for an unforgettable experience in a beautiful setting for the warm Florida Holidays. The area is ideal for both inshore & offshore fishing during the fall months. We get it done! Definitely Deliver the Results Exceed Expectations!!

    Our Pelagic Angler Expertise is in play as We target hogfish year round, but it’s best from November to May as it gets more difficult to catch them consistently during the summer months due to water temperatures. Our 1/2 day and 3/4 day charters are perfect for getting on great Hogfish action out in the Gulf of Mexico, due in part to the relative closeness of the fishing grounds. Here’s the FWC breakdown for Hog Snapper. Expect a ton of action on these snapper fishing charters. The best part of fishing for the hog snapper is the challenge of getting them to bite. They have very large mouths, but only pick at the bait, making them hard to hook. Once you do hook one however, you will know by the telltale way they fight, extremely fast tail beats on the line and drag pulling as they look for a rock crevice to find safety in. Considered one of, if not the best, eating of the snapper species. We Deliver the Results Exceed Expectations!!

    1. the last month has seen the lobstering remain very strong, we are regularly getting our limit on the half day lobster diving trips; 2. The water is still very warm and comfortable for diving and folks are having a great time on our half day Lionfish hunting trips. Nothing better than cleaning the reef of these invasive fish and they're delicious!! 3. The bottom fishing is remaining very strong as we start our transition to fall and winter fishing. Nice catches of muttons, yellowtail and big numbers of Lane snappers are showing up; 4. Most exciting on this last full moon we got Wahoo and expect this fishing to just improve as the water cools!! Sunset tuna fishing is picking up, if you guys want to post these 'Half day sunset fishing for tuna and snapper, we leave the dock around 3 and catch snapper until around 5:30, when we set up for tuna trolling from 6 to 7 pm, these tuna tend to turn on as the sunsets and the bite can be amazing!' Bo and Brittany had a great lobster trip
