A GREAT day fishing with Captain Al!

Ended up booking for the COLDEST day possible in January but Cap’n Al found protected spots with great returns. We all three caught a bunch of Reds, snook, snapper and sheepshead.

Cap’n Al is super experienced and a great navigator..which is ideal when out in any waters. He is also calm, funny and patient, with a kind manner. Had great equipment and plenty of bait...

Cap’n Al is super experienced and a great navigator..which is ideal when out in any waters. He is also calm, funny and patient, with a kind manner. Had great equipment and plenty of bait
for us to lose while trying to entice the fish! The boat is terrific, clean and very well kept, a comfortable and safe platform to fish from, and took the chop very well.

He also kindly filleted our keepers to ensure we had a perfect dinner when we got home!

An excellent fishing adventure and we will certainly be going out with him again.

Thanks Cap’n Al, for a wonderful day!

Recent Fishing Reports

Late December 2025
• Sheepshead: This is the star of the show right now. As the water cools, "convicts" are moving onto dock pilings, bridge footings (especially the Matlacha Bridge), and oyster bars. Use small pieces of fresh shrimp or fiddler crabs on a #1 or 1/0 circle hook.
• Redfish: Look for "tailers" on the shallow flats during the low afternoon tides. With negative tides predicted around midday, focus on the edges of deep-water creeks and mangrove shorelines.
• Trout: Seatrout are scattered across the 3- to 5-foot grassy flats. Drifting with a popping cork and live shrimp or slow-working a soft plastic paddle tail is the most consistent way to find them.
• Snook: Most snook have retreated into the warmer backcountry canals and up the Caloosahatchee River. They are a bit lethargic due to the temp drop, so slow down your presentation.
