Bite was a little slow today for us but managed to get on a huge school of big big redfish. Caught a total of 5 and everyone of them were over 34". The biggest today was 39". Had my clients Jason and family today from Canada and they were done after 5 big bruisers. We ended up going trout fishing after that and had a nonstop bite. Bite is still good in the Tampa bay.

Had to get out this morning to capitalize on the permit bite that my buddy @jasonstock has been raging about! We only had about a 2hr window this morning before it got pretty nautical out there for us. But went 2-3 on permit and had an awesome time.

Was nice to finally get out after all the rain. Had an awesome day with Paul from England-Chicago today with his family also. Went to try and catch a permit and got literally spooled by one. Only permit bite this morning. Caught some nice mangos, triple tail and lost a huge barracuda. Then pushed back inshore and caught some snook to cap the day. Very hot and flat calm all day.

Had my clients Steve and family from Lake Okeechobee on board today. I tried to talk them out of going fishing today due to weather but they insisted that they had to catch some fish. We ended up catching a bunch of small snook, trout and jacks. We lost a monster snook in the middle of a downpour. Was a sight to see! Steve and family were troopers today. Fishing is still good in the rain.

Snook fishing in Tampa bay is on point. Had my clients Arron and family from Oklahoma out today for there first saltwater adventure. Early in the morning we lost a nice snook estimated to be about 38". But we managed to catch plenty of under slot and a nice 30" snook towards the end of the trip. They had an awesome time despite the weather. Fishing still good inshore.

Had an awesome day today with my clients Linda and family from Wisconsin. We caught plenty of snook and was surprised by this 36" redfish that dusted her bait. The bite is still very good. Book your trips.
