Out guide, Kevin, did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend him. There were four of us in our group including 2 experienced anglers, one semi experienced, and one who was very inexperienced. Kevin did a great job keeping everyone involved, baited, and altered approaches based on skill level. He worked very hard to put us on fish. He even cleaned our fish at the end of the trip. Again, I would higly recommend.

Late July 2026

Been catching good Speckled Trout and Redfish on lures early. Have also had some a good black drum bite when the customers are wanting to fill the boxes.

Early April 2026

Fishing has been good, it's been windy but we are working through it. Both live bait and artificial lures have been working. I have plenty of days available right now
