Awesome experience!! Captain Mike is an excellent fishing guide, knowledgable and knew the area well. I usually sit back and watch my family fish, but decided to take in the Captain’s instructions and had an incredible time, caught fish left and right. Highly recommend!! Thank you, Captain Mike!

I’m normally the guide doing what he did for my novice son-in-law and friend. They caught fish and learned a lot from Captain Mike. I also learned a few thins from him. Would recommend to anyone regardless of fishing experience. Very helpful and adaptive.

Best day of our holidays
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 17, 2025
We were on the water with Mike almost the entire day. Aside from the sun—which shone pretty relentlessly all day—it was a fantastic day. While we didn't catch any giants, there were more than enough fish for everyone on board. We never got bored, and Captain Mike always had the right idea for the next spot. He was great with my children, and my wife—who isn't an angler—also had a great time trying her luck that day. Thank you so much—we'd love to go again!

We went out with Capt Mike on a half day charter and he did such a great job at putting us on the fish. He was so helpful on the boat and made sure we had the best time possible. I will definitely be using him again when in the Yankeetown area

4 months agoWhat a great crew I had the pleasure of fishing with yesterday! The wind and wave report looked decent for the morning but, of course, when we got out there in the Gulf, we were looking at fairly consistent one foot plus seas and strong winds coming out of the West. I checked with my crew and they said let's do this so away we went. Mark, Beth, Dave (who was a little camera shy) and Kathy stuck it out through some pretty adverse conditions and managed to catch quite a few fish. Kathy started things off with a hard fighting Jack, Beth put a keeper Trout in the box, Dave caught a nice Redfish, and then proceeded to get a couple jumps out of a 100 lb Tarpon! At the end of the day he said he will be seeing that Tarpon in his dreams tonight?. They caught multiple species including the aforementioned Redfish, Seatrout, Jacks, as well as Flounder. All of our stops except one produced fish, with at least ten,17 and 1/2 to 17 and 3/4 Redfish in the mix. Dave finished off the day with a keeper Redfish and Beth jumped another Tarpon right before we headed back to Yankeetown Marina. Captains Cove came through again today with some nice live shrimp in the middle of our annual shrimp shortage, as well as some decent size mud minnows. All of our different baits had good success catching fish, and the good Lord supplied us with a nice lady fish for cut bait which worked real well also! My crew really fished hard in some tough conditions, with the seas getting up to 2 ft+ at times and steady wind at about 15 mile an hour plus before we decided to call it a day and head back to port. It was another blessed day fishing with a fantastic crew out in God's Country!

Black Drum
4 months agoSuch a blessed day out in God's Country yesterday with two of my good friends Johnny and Billy! This was a scouting trip so it was all about exploring new areas targeting Redfish and Seatrout. We did real well as we caught about 20 Redfish. As expected, the trout were spread out but we managed to put 10 in the boat, and kept three. Not much current or wind for a drift so we moved around on the trolling motor out on the flats to find the Seatrout. We also sight fished a 50 to 60 lb Tarpon in 2 1/2 ft of water while hunting Redfish. Got four nice jumps out of him before his last violent head shake snapped the 30 lb leader like it was 5 lb leader?. Man that was a cool fish! Later on, Billy sight fished a Tripletail out on the flats as well. While we were Trout fishing, Billy also put out a few bigger live pinfish under a float for sharks. He got some exciting drag pulling off of that. Although he did have a lot of cut offs and half eaten baits, he still managed to get a few sharks to the boat on light tackle. All in all it was a great scouting day and another incredible adventure out in God's Country!!!
Flounder
5 months agoJohn rang the dinner bell yesterday catching some nice Flounder and Seatrout out in God's Country! Also caught Redfish, Snook, Gag Grouper, a couple of huge Rays, and various other species while bouncing around different flats, rock piles, oyster bars and islands. Another blessed day of fishing new areas of this vast Yankeetown fishery.
5 months agoI fished with Dean from Bucks Graphics and his girlfriend Crista yesterday. Dean said he wanted to catch his first Snook and we checked that box first thing in the morning with a beautiful 32 and 3/4 inch drag screamer! Other than the Snook, the bite was a little slow in the morning, on a slow moving outgoing tide. However when the tide turned around and started coming in, things picked up, and Krista decided to put the hammer down on some quality Seatrout, including a pair of fat 22 + inch ones. Not bad for her first time fishing! The Trout we're all between 17 and 1/2 and 22 and 1/2, so they took a nice bag of fillets home for a couple of dinners. These guys toughed it out through are slow morning bite, some howling west winds and rough seas, and put together a pretty good day of catching fish out in God's Country?. Looking forward to having you guys back again soon, prayfully with less wind and calmer Seas ??!!!
Redfish
5 months agoRan a scouting trip yesterday with my buddy John out into God's Country. Fished some areas I am not familiar with, which is always fun, and we were fairly productive. We caught about seven or eight Redfish, with the biggest coming in just over 32 in. Also caught some nice Seatrout, including John's fat 22-in piggy. At first we thought John had a Redfish on as it was pulling some drag until it came to the surface and we saw it was a nice chunky Trout. Her stomach was already stuffed full of bait fish, so she had no reason to eat John's big pinfish but she gulped it right down into her stomach (see picture below⬇️)! Besides Redfish and Seatrout, we also caught Flounder and Black Drum. We threw a variety of live baits from Captains Cove including shrimp, pinfish, and mud minnows. The bigger fish were caught on pinfish and mud minnows, but live shrimp produced as well. We also saw a hundred pound plus Tarpon swim past the boat, but it would not eat anything we threw at it. Another blessed day out on the Nature Coast, which I believe is one of God's greatest gifts to us!
Redfish
6 months agoGreat day out in God's Country yesterday with buddy's Johnny and Brandon. We did a little exploring and hooked up with some nice Redfish of all sizes, from overslot, to Upper slot, to lower slot, and some under slots as well. John took big fish honors with the fat 30 inch Red. Also caught some nice Seatrout and kept five good ones for the box. It's such a blessing to be able to fish with these guys as there is always some good conversation, nice fish caught, and a little smack talk as well:)!
Black Drum
7 months agoIt is always a blessing to fish with Brian and Stacie. This is their third trip down from West Virginia to fish with me in the last year and every trip has been both fun and productive! They only had time for a half day Charter this time because they had other commitments but we made the best of it as they started out on a nice Seatrout bite first thing in the morning. Caught about 15 to 20 trout and kept seven good ones. Then went on to catch a variety of other fish including Black Drum, Redfish, and Sheepshead. The coolest event of the day was watching two spinner sharks Circle one of our live baits on a cork. They were very cautious but one decided to dive in and got hooked up. He made a drag pulling run and then jumped fully out of the water did a 360 barrel roll, and spit the hook. What a magnificent sight! You just never know what you're going to see out here in God's Country. I'm looking forward to the fourth trip which sounds like it is coming up soon!
Flounder
7 months agoWhat a fun day with repeat clients John and Tonya of Rock Solid Builders out of Wildwood! John, aka "The Flounder Pounder" ?, picked up the technique for catching Flounder pretty quickly, dialed it in and caught some nice Flounder for dinner. Tonya decided to catch everything else, including Seatrout, Redfish, Sheepshead, and Jack Crevalle. They ended up with a nice bag of delicious filets for a few dinners. Captains Cove live shrimp and mud minnows were the baits that were working today. I was truly blessed to have this great couple on the boat out in God's Country on such a beautiful day! Thank you guys... I am looking forward to the next time around!!!

Redfish
7 months agoHaving John on the boat is always a lot of fun and laughs! In the morning, we ran around and hit some areas that I had not been to in a while, tried some different techniques, with only a couple of fish to show for it. Since John wanted to take home some fish for a fish fry, I decided to change up the plan and go back to fishing what has been working. What an epiphany :)! John caught fire, as he has been known to do, and I spent the afternoon netting Redfish, Black Drum, Seatrout, Flounder, and Spanish Mackerel for him. I even got in on the action and caught a pretty nice Sheepshead that was definitely in need of some dental work:) (see picture below⬇️)! We kept enough for a nice bag of fillets for John for a fish fry and the rest were released to fight another day. Headed back in to Yankeetown Marina as the wind and the Seas started picking up, completing another blessed and successful fishing trip out into God's Country
