After a phenomenol day of fishing the Gulf with this family we landed a minster Snook at the Cocohatchee River Marina dock. Talk about a great ending! Weโ€™ve been loading up on the Mangrove Snapper between 3-5 miles offshore, fighting the Barracuda regularly, and still catching some Cobia! Brought a Tripletail on the boat two weeks back and just overall have been having a blast with our customers!

Repeat customers Vern and Steve were in Naples for a fishing adventure this past week. Weโ€™ve been having better success at our 3 and 5 mile spots so stuck with near shore this trip and scored with a plentiful day catching Permit, Snook, Goliath Grouper, Cobia, and more. We did snag a loggerhead and we were able to safely release him back home!

The fishing has been ON out of Wiggins Pass with Captain Brian and Crew at Smokinโ€™ Hooks. Weโ€™ve landed Pompano, Barracuda, Cobia, Macks, Snook, Snapper and more this week despite some windy weather. Even better than the fishing is the memories made this week. We canโ€™t recall a more solid week of epic customers - just back to back awesome people on board. Just know you made our week!

Goliath Grouper time
Goliath Grouper time
Jul 5, 2020 Naples
Weโ€™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. Thereโ€™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!

The captain and the boat was great, but the after charges were disappointing. 3% more if you pay with credit card and $69 extra...
