Slot fish are everywhere. Overslot fish? Oh yeah, weโ€™ve seen a few that look like they skipped leg day at the gym and just worked on growing a forehead you could screen a movie on. Best bait? Whatever you throw at themโ€”cut bait, live bait, even that weird rubber chicken I found in the bottom of the tackle box. (Kidding... mostly.) - Captain Austin

Clients have been reeling them in left and right, grinning like they just discovered beer was calorie-free. We had one guy swear he saw his redfish wink at him before spooling half his reelโ€”either that or he was suffering heat stroke, but hey, still counts. - Captain Austin

The fish mustโ€™ve heard he served two tours, because they surrendered immediately. One flounder even played dead before it got to the boat. The man caught so many fish, I started checking to make sure his hooks werenโ€™t magnetic.

TANNIC WATER ADVENTURES FISHING REPORT โ€“ WHERE THE FISH ARE BITING AND THE CAPTAINโ€™S SUNBURN HAS A ZIP CODE Well folks, grab your tackle boxes and your emotional support beer because this weekโ€™s fishing report is hotter than a June wedding in a Florida church with no A/C. The morning bite on the St. Johns has been downright disrespectful. We pulled up to the first spot and the fish were already laughing at us like theyโ€™d read the Yelp reviews. Tossed a live shrimp under a popping cork and BAM!โ€”first cast, trout hits it so hard I thought it owed him money. Redfish are schooling tighter than tourists at a โ€œfree samplesโ€ tray. We spotted a pod tailing so perfectly, I swear one of them winked at me. Client hooked up and the drag screamed like my ex when I bought another rod. Fish ran under the boat, did a full Nascar lap, then gave us the fin and spit the hook. Classic.

The redfish are hotter than a sunscreen bottle left on the console. Theyโ€™ve been schooling tighter than a middle school dance, and if you cast anything that remotely resembles foodโ€”or even a bad haircutโ€”theyโ€™re crushing it like they owe it money. We rolled up at first light and immediately spotted tails waving like they were at a redfish rave. The first cast was textbook. The second cast hit a mullet. The third hit my hat. But after a few mechanical adjustments (and one emotional breakdown), we were locked in.
