Big flounder pounder

Dec 8, 2022 Melbourne

We landed the largest flounder the boat has ever caught it measured 25 1/2 inches and gave 12 year old Justin from Vermont quite the battle on Thursdays four hour inshore trip! The trout bite has also been decent! We landed a 21 inch trout on the same trip along with some smaller 17 inch trout! Book a trip with us on the space coasts beautiful Indian river!

Break out the fly rods!!!

Jun 15, 2021 Melbourne

The past week we have had some great success with fly rods during our morning trips. Mondays trip yielded 11 fish on the fly rods with in an hour. The biggest fish (pictured) was 27 inches! Striped bass put up a phenomenal fight on fly tackle. Book your trip today!!!

The bite is on!

May 27, 2021 Melbourne

Its happening. Fresh fish are arriving with every tide. Got out several times this past week and the fishing improved with every trip. Biggest fish measured just over 26 inches. Almost a keeper. The fishing will continue to improve as we enter the month of june! Book your trip, its time to get out!

Warming up

Apr 22, 2021 Melbourne

As we patiently await the arrival of Striped Bass on our coastline, here at Fin N Juice we have been occupied with our native brook trout populations. As of today 4/21/21 the ocean temperature in the gulf of Maine sits at 44 degrees. The magic number for the arrival of Striped bass is right around 50 degrees. Only 6 more degrees till we start seeing some fresh migratory fish! Last week the 21 foot kencraft was put on the bay. We caught some winter flounder! As things start to get going we are increasingly excited about our 2021 season! Better days to come! Cheers, Captain Owen Whitehead

Unfortunately, we were not able to catch any fish (one puffer fish does not count!) The captain said that your company would refund my deposit. However, I received only a refund of $5. I was less than impressed with the promise made by the captain.

Hey gordo, I believe I actually knocked 35 dollars off my trip price and warned you beforehand that conditions were not ideal for fishing and the wind was blowing hard. You insisted on going anyway. Apologizes it didn’t go as planned. Cheers Owen

Hey Larry thanks for coming out. I thought the trip went alright, you caught a small grouper and some small trout. I recall a few nicer fish were lost at the boat. Sorry we didn’t get that big fish you wanted. Cheers.
