This trip we will cover everything from how to cast, bait, and locate fish. Rio will teach you new techniques and will also educate you on why they work. Rio will always do everything he can to ensure you have a successful day but, please be mindful you are indeed Fishing and conditions will vary day to day. Rio will not tell you what you want to hear just to take your money. He works very hard so you can enjoy your leisure time. Sunrise trips are also available (just select the 6 or 7am start time). These trips start out on the sand and surf at twilight. One of the best parts of the area is the serenity of watching a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic. Generally this is when the best fishing will start becoming active as the water starts to warm up and fish cruise the beaches taking advantage of the visibility. Read More

This trip is for big trout and giant red fish, I mainly target trout in the summer months catching 20-60 trout a trip from 4 to 15 pounds, 100% some of the biggest trout you will come by. We will fish in a foot too about 2 ft of water. Also I target the big reds for a fun fight and a nice picture! Mosquito lagoon is like fishing in the middle of no where with great scenery and great fishing! I only have one boat rule, and it’s that you guys use the sunscreen I provide, which is Neutrogena zinc based SPF 50. I have plenty on the boat ready to go. Other types, including other zinc types, but especially spray types and chemical based types, cause damage to my boats gel coat and upholstery, leaving orange stains that can be permanent. The zinc type I provide is hypoallergenic, works much better than other types of sunscreen, contains no chemicals implicated in potentially causing cancer, and is non toxic to marine life. This is a strict rule so please do not bring or apply other sunscreen ahead of time. Read More
