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!

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!

Jan 24, 2020 Naples
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.
