Gators In The Bay

Pine Island Sound, FL Mar 21st 2023 We’ve had an excellent week fishing inshore, the bite has been as good as you’d expect with warmer water temps and calmer conditions.

High Waters and Hard Fighters

Pine Island Sound, FL March 13th, 2023 The bite has been excellent this week despite the wind and small fronts we have been dealing with. Bait has been excellent, catching medium-sized whitebait in the mornings and getting extra for chumming the fish up while we fish.

Back To The Hot Inshore Bite

Pine Island Sound, FL March 12th, 2023 Spring is in full swing, and we are seeing the payoff of these warmer days and clear clean water.

Captiva Pass, FL February, 25th 2023 Nearshore has been our go-to all week long with calm water and winds. We are fishing between 6 and 9 miles out in 40-60 feet of water using live shrimp.

Nearshore Lane Snapper

Captiva Pass February 3rd, 2023 We had a great opportunity to get out in deep water to target snapper, grouper, grunts and various other species.

Old Man Winter Won’t Slow Us Down

Lane snappers are plentiful on nearshore wrecks and… Continue reading Old Man Winter Won’t Slow Us Down

Inshore and Nearshore Beatdown

Gulf of Mexico January 11th, 2023 Awesome half-day morning trip before our next cold front. The fishing was on fire from start to finish starting close for Sheepshead.
