Finally some nice weather!
Finally some nice weather!
Jan 17, 2025 Englewood
After quite a few days of below average temperatures with cloudy, rainy, and windy conditions the tides have turned in our favor. With the lower water temperatures species like sheepshead in particular as well as trout and tripletail are eager and willing to feed. Did I mention they're all delicious and open for harvest? Fishing looks great next week and favorable for the Gulf of Mexico. Book your trips ASAP if you want to catch some tasty table fare. Tight lines, Captain Nick Whipp

The sheepshead fishing has been great. If you want to take some fillets home for a family fish fry- you're in luck! We've been catching great numbers lately and had some trout and redfish and black drum mixed in every so often! Come enjoy the cooler temperatures and catch some trout and sheepshead.

Bait is abundant, water temperatures are perfect and the fish are hungry. November's one of the best month to fish the waters from Englewood to Boca Grande. Lots of small to medium snook with some nice reds mixed in! There's also been some tripletail out in thr gulf when the weatehr allows. All in all it's a great time to book a trip and enjoy the wonderful weather and rip some lips! Tight lines, Captain Nick Whipp

The silver king awaits.
The silver king awaits.
May 6, 2023 Englewood
Tough to put into words the satisfaction when you grab one of these prehistoric fish by the face. Allow me to explain... If you know me you know that I have a love/ hate relationship with the silver king. In particular I despise fishing the pass. Well, on Friday we fished for 6 hours in Boca Grande pass and had only 4 bites. We landed 0 fish. Yep, that's right I got skunked. Tarpon fishing can be like that sometimes but when every boat around you is hooking up and flying fish in all directions it can take a toll on your morale. Before we fishing the pass my regular client specifically said he wanted to fish the pass. I tried my best to persuade them otherwise and even reassured them I knew where they were off the beach and we wouldn't have to deal with any other boats or sharks. Well when a customer has fished with you so many times that they pay your mortgage as a captain you do whatever they want. With my ego broken down a little I got up at 4:30 on Saturday morning and decided to go to the beach by myself and get some vitamin sea. First bait in the water at 7:30 got smoked but the fish broke instantly. With tarpon fishing you literally have to make every bite count. I was crushed. About an hour or so passed and I got another perfect opportunity and was able to get tight and eventually get this beauty boatside. As luck would have it a boat was passing by and was kind enough to snap some photos and text them to me today. All the hard work, early mornings, hours and hours spent getting the right bait finally paid off and I was able to tango with the silver king. That's all I wanted. Just 1 fish for me per year is all I need. All the rest are for my customers. Trust me when I tell you that catching a tarpon solo is one of the hardest things to do but lord was it worth it. I tell people that tarpon fishing is the most frustrating yet rewarding fishing there is- there's literally nothing like it. May is filling up quick so get your tarpon trips locked in ASAP.

Stellar snook bite

Dec 21, 2022 Englewood
The late December snook bite has been incredible. The big cold front will change things and usher in the winter fish. Over the next month or two the speckled trout, sheepshead, and tripletail should really get fired up. And guess what? They're all in season and wonderful table fare. Lock in your trip before the prine dates and tides are booked. Not sure when the bite will be the best? Shoot me a message and I'll tell you when i think the weather and tides will be in our favor. See you soon, Captain Nick Whipp
