Limited out on red drum in 15 minutes

Dec 8, 2023 Darien

Went out and played with some trout, took us about 2 1/2 hours to catch 30 for the cooler quite a few more that we threw back pulled over to one of my red fish holes limit it out with 15 less than 15 minutes. It was as fast as you could throw it in.

If you don’t catch no fish, you did not

Captain Bill and Maggie were gracious, knowlegable and made sure we had a great time despite the less than desirable weather. Will definitely be back.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)

Had a really good time. We caught several fish, but keepers were a little hard to come by, but thats fishing.We did finish with 2 super nice speckled trout and a 22 inch redfish. Capt Bill and his first mate was a pleasure to fish with. I plan to come back and take another trip with them next year.
