We’ve been picking back up with the Summer bite out of Wiggins Pass. The waters have warmed up and the Barracuda bite along with the Goliath Grouper has been very active. There’s been a nice Gulfshore breeze that provides some relief for the afternoon trips. We have been able to avoid the typical afternoon showers and have been on the water most days for both morning and afternoon trips. Thinking about what to do to stay active and have fun? Get out on the water with Captain Brian and crew!

This past week has been phenomenal. Today on an 8 hour trip we ran a total of only 12 miles and were catching fish all day. So many that FWC came by at the dock to check us out! Left the docks at 8 from Wiggins Pass and journeyed out after a wicked cold front with some variable seas. The forecast called for the seas to lay down by midday so Captain and crew were optimistic. Within fifteen minutes of anchoring down we landed a nice King Mackeral and had a Triggerfish on board. The day proved fruitful with Kings, Snapper, Spanish Mackeral hooking up with our lines. The rest of the weeks been active, even yesterday with a cold front and backwater fishing we hooked up to a nice Redfish and some good keepers.

Took a group of three out 3-6 miles to several spots out of Wiggins Pass in North Naples. The goal today was to keep catching and bring plenty home for dinner so we didn't target any game fish. Kept busy the entire 5 hour trip and filled the bucket. Kingfish are starting to hit, keeper Lane Snappers, Silver Snappers - good variety today. The Groupers were a bit undersized but they are still out there. Overall, excellent for mid-October. Charters haven't been as frequent post - hurricane Irma however EVERY trip has been jammin' - no bad days!

Lots of action today out of Wiggins Pass, Naples, FL. Several keeper Reds, some just over 21 and some larger. Nice Gags and several Shark brought on board. We've had a few nice weather calm days after a rough patch of wind and waves. The Grouper have been providing most of the action with the Snapper picking up in size as well.

We had a beautiful day with both an early morning half day and and extended afternoon trip. The water and winds finally are cooperating again and the water was like glass. Red Grouper were caught of keeper size at the 8-9 mile mark bottom fishing with live and cut bait. We had three sharks on the morning trip to add to the action. Everyone on board had FISH ON! This is the time of year to be on the water with Smokin' Hooks.

Nice size Tiger caught out of Wiggins Pass. Got a lot of short Reds and some big Triggerfish. Fishing has been active this week.
