Post cold front determination
4 Hour Inshore (AM) on March 15, 20233 adults

Due to our schedule we could only take a charter the day after a cold front. I told Paul "maybe we should cancel" Paul was confident that we would find find um. The first spot we caught several snook, we followed that with a couple tough spots, but he knew shortly that they weren't there. Finally we hit two spots that had hunger fish. When we found them Paul directed us to be aggressive and get our lines on the fish. THANKS PAUL see you next time!

Born and raised right here on the waters of Charlotte Harbor, I've spent my life exploring every flat, mangrove, and channel this area has to offer. Growing up local means more than just knowing the tides it's about understanding how this fishery changes with each season and what makes it so special. From chasing snook and redfish as a kid to guiding others to their personal best catches today, Charlotte Harbor has always been home. My goal is to share the beauty, history, and incredible fishing of this place with everyone who steps aboard.
