***** July 20th 2024 Inshore report. Inshore fishing has been great. Water temps have warmed up and we have fianlly been getting some much needed rain and the bite has been pretty consistant. Redfish, Snook, Trout, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, and still some Sheepshead around. Shrimp, Whitebait, Cut Bait, and Jigs are the weapon of choice. Snook & Redfish are catch and release only.

***** July 20th 2024 offshore report. Offshore bite has been steady. The 5 and 6 hr trips Snapper have been steady with Lanes, Gray, and Vermillion Snapper, A few African Pompano have been caught as well. Red Grouper is now closed till the first of the year. Still catching them but released for another day. Big Gray Snapper, Lane Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and Vermillion Snapper have been a steady bite. A few Red Snapper have been coming over the sides on the 8 & 9 hr trips. Been brining back plenty of fish for dinner

*****Reminder gratuity is not included in price 20% is customary and appreciated

***** Redfish & Snook even in season are catch and release only on my charters to allow our fishery to continue to flourish. Many guides are doing the same thing as we all share the same interest in the fishery here in Southwest Floirda. We can keep a few Trout and possibly some Snapper, Sheepshead, and Pompano but thats about it for Inshore. If your looking for a meat trip then book a offshore trip.

If your preferred day isn't showing available please send me a message under the contact page or call or text me at 941-268-4694. Some days are blocked off for scheduled days off that I may be able to make available and if not I can usually find you a reputable Captain/Guide for your trip and take the guess work out of it for you. Thank you
