4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 12, 20262 adults

My son and I had an amazing fishing journey with Captain Ryan who gave us a much different experience than traditiiinal ocean trolling or bottom fishing. This might be my favorite new way to ocean fish! Best part was when my son battled a monster Redfish on light tackle for at least 6 minutes. Great memories today!

Reported catch:
Redfish

FIRST CAST LANDED MY FIRST FAT REDFISH!
6 Hour Trip – Inshore on December 30, 20252 adults

Had a wonderful time with Capt. Ryan, he knows his stuff. put me on redfish in the 5# class right away. caught nice fish all day no messing around he is the real deal don't pass up the chance to fish with him! This is real backwater shallow fishing at its finest. The captain put in the effort to have the best available fresh live bait big bull minnows ready to go on the boat, and it made all the difference.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on January 1, 20262 adults

New Years day, 65 and sunny 🌞 Spent 4 hrs with capt. Ryan Lemoeux in shallow, protected tidal flats. He had good local knowledge and recent outings so knew where the fish were and had multiple live bait types ready. My gf and I enjoyed the outing and would do it again.

Great time
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 3, 20252 adults

We had an extremely good time. Captain Ryan was very nice and was willing to do what ever to be sure we had a good time. The day started out slow but he was persistent to get us on fish and he did just that. We ended with many reds and several trouts. Was very pleased and would highly recommend this charter to all, you want be sorry. Can’t say enough good stuff about Ryan .

I was born and raised in Southport, FL, right on the water on Fanning Bayou near the head of North Bay. Come from multiple generations of fishermen. Just a good ol' boy who knows what he knows and loves to fish and share my passion for it with others. I've spent the better half of 25 years learning and crafting knowledge to provide you with an interactive, fun, and professional trip!
