About Your Trip

Arrive 15 minutes early for instruction. We'll target the hot bite for the day. It could be speckled trout, redfish, black drum, Spanish Mackerel, or Jack Crevalle, which is a seasonal sport fish that will test your mettle. We're likely to be using as assortment of tackle and techniques.....ranging from trolling, casting artificial lures, to using live or choice cut baits. Typically, Jacks begin showing up in mid June/July and run through August/early September. They are a predatory fish and are always on the move. Bull reds will school up with Jacks also......same timeline but run through most of October. For those seeking larger fish like Jack's or Bull reds, know that as the season wears on, they tend to move further from launch locations and more time may be needed.

Captain Trey was a great and entertaining guide for our West Bay half day trip. Caught plenty of speckled sea trout and reds. We did some interesting fishing up the West Bay Creek that connects to the Chactawhatchee Bay that was similar to Bass fishing and very productive. We caught our limit of big reds. Thanks, Captain Trey! Hope to see you again soon

Response from Trey:
Reagan, very much appreciated. I’m grateful and appreciative for the opportunity to have served your family. There were many highlights. For me, my personal favorite was Ray catching the biggest fish of the day. 78 years young and doing the dang thing! I’ll be sure to pack my Bluetooth speaker next time y’all come aboard. Look forward to seeing each of you again! Blessed, Capt Trey

Captain Trey was awesome. The wind was high, water was rough and bite was slow but Trey worked very hard to find fish. We only caught 1 redfish but it was not from a lack of trying. He talked and cut jokes with the kids and made the day fun. He kept “Bocephus” rocking the radio too. I will definitely book with Trey next time we’re in town.
