Trip Summary

Santa is being very generous with the fishing lately, the fish are biting and the coolers are filling. Some of my customers might be having fish for Christmas dinner instead of turkey this year. We've had some cold fronts come in which has chilled the water down a bit in the lagoon and the ocean but it hasn't stopped the fish from biting. The lagoon is producing decent amounts of slot reds as well as some smaller snook fishing the mangrove shorelines and not to mention numerous amounts of spotted seatrout. Sebastian Inlet has been pretty hot lately, the big reds are hanging around for the holidays and slot to over slot snook are being caught pretty consistently. Flounder season is open now and I've seen some decent size doormats and a bunch of medium size flounder being caught. Spanish macks and bluefish are also stacked up in and around the inlet. Offshore has had a fabulous snapper bite this week. Some of the lane snapper we've caught are the biggest I've ever seen. There are also quite a few other species hanging around like big mangrove snapper, cobia and kingfish. I've talked to some other captains that have been catching mahi out around 150ft while trolling. We usually don't do many offshore trips during the winter due to the rough seas though. There are a few days still open for December but January is wide open for bookings. Give us a call and let's get y'all hooked up. Due note: the rental house is booked up from February 1st to April 30th.

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.
