Trip Summary

The fishing has been HOTT!!!! Finally we were able to get a decent week of weather to fish and the last week of November was one you didn't want to miss. It was one seriously windy month almost all of November. We've had a record year for hurricanes and even though they didn't hit us directly we still felt the effects around the whole state of Florida. Rough seas and high winds made for a lot of video game time at Captain Shane's house. November 23rd was the first day we got to get out to fish since the 31st of October, This last week of November was one for the books though. The snook and redfish bite were off the chain at Sebastian Inlet. It took no time at all to get our first hit as soon as the bait hit the water. Not only has the bite been good but also getting keeper slot fish as well. Most of the time at the Inlet the snook and reds are to big to keep but not this week. We had our limit in no time at all. They were eating almost anything we threw at them. Those are the days that make it easy fishing. In a way it's kind of bad when it's that easy because then my customers get spoiled and think it's always like that. Sometimes it is easy and other times we gotta work for it. Other than the Inlet, we also did a lot of inshore fishing along the mangroves, spoil islands, and docks which produced a numerous amount of catching. Lots of spotted seatrout, ladyfish, mangrove snapper, and slot redfish. As for the baits, we used a little bit of everything. Artificials, live & dead shrimp, greenies, cut bait, live mullet, and anything else I could think of and all of it produced. Some flounder have been getting pulled in lately but not big by numbers yet. We were able to get a couple the other day on live greenies though. There's going to be a little cold front coming in this week that should kick those flounder into gear so hopefully we'll have a decent flounder bite this month. The snook, redfish, and trout should still be very active the rest of the month but due note December 15th is the end of snook season until February 1st 2021. Snook will be catch and release until the season opens again. I will also be looking forward to targeting some sheepshead this month as well. Just to let everyone know, we have a great Christmas special going on until the end of the year. Offering 40% off on gift cards for the 2021 fishing season until December 31st 2020. This is an excellent Christmas gift for anyone in the family, so jump on this fantastic deal while there's still time.

Spring Break Time
Spring Break Time
Marzo 11, 2024
It's coming into spring break time, so we'll have limited spots available. We get booked up pretty quick this time of year. Let's start off with the weather, we'll it's been hit or miss as usual. It's been windy, rainy, and cold most of February. March should be warming up a bit though. When the days are available offshore trips have been very productive. We've had a few nice days in the last couple weeks, so last minute decisions to run out have paid off. The snapper bite has been amazing. Nice sized mangrove and lane snapper, triggerfish, sheepshead, pompano, bluefish, and kingfish, along with an occasional cobia have all been taking the bait. Inshore on the other hand has been hit or miss. The heavy winds have been making the lagoon very dirty. With dirty water makes it almost impossible to site fish anything unless they're active on top. The cold fronts and heavy winds have put a damper on most days but we're managing. The snook bite at the inlet has been tough as well. There's been a solid 10 degree difference in water temps from the ocean side to the river side. One day is hot the next day is not. The inlet has been holding a decent amount of jack crevalle which offer an awesome fight and there has been some occasional monster bluefish around. There's been a good number of blacktip and spinner sharks being caught along the beach and nearshore reefs. When mother nature allows us, we're having good luck on the nearshore reefs catching weakfish and lane snapper. The big manta rays have started to show up outside the inlet and if you're lucky they'll have some cobia tagging along with them looking for an easy meal. Bowfishing has been excellent at night. We've found some solid spots in one of the lakes that offers some fantastic trips. Tons of tilapia everywhere you look, some customers are getting upwards of 300 shots a night. The day trips are ok, but nighttime is where it's at for bowfishing out here.
