Another great day catching big reddrum. The morning bite was on fire then slowed down mid day. It was slow until the night bite fire off and we left then biting at 10:30pm.

The big schools of BULLS are here!

The fall redfish run is in full swing NOW as huge schools of big hungry bull reds are traveling the beach and feeding shallow. Book your trip ASAP as they will head to deeper water in January.

Wind whipping, Drag ripping!

Oct 24, 2025 Creole

With a heavy SE wind and strong outgoing tide we had to make some adjustments but still caught some big red drum.

4 Hour Trip

Absolutely amazing experience! Our surf fishing trip was unforgettable from start to finish. We hooked into red drum, sharks, and catfish—it was nonstop action and so much fun! The guide made everything easy and enjoyable, and set us up in the perfect spot. The excitement of reeling in fish after fish with the gulf as the backdrop was something wr will never forget. If you’re looking for a thrilling day packed with great catches and amazing memories, this is the trip for you. Can’t wait... More

We had an amazing time on the windiest day. Ben was great. He had everything ready go before we got there. It was not long and we reeled in a 36 inch red. My ten year old son got a 37.5 in red. It was a great day and Ben did a great job under difficult conditions. We plan to book again. My son said he wished there were more than 5 starts to give, it needed to be a 10 star review.
