Spring is here and that means some of the best fishing of the year! We had our limit of reds here in less than an hour with plenty of bonus fish in thr box. After that it was just catch and release till the rain came. Dont miss out redfish are Florida’s most popular game fish for a reason and if love to have you fishing with me!

Kicked the morning off right with good reds and a drum in the boat within 30 minutes of leaving the dock. Moved around and picked up more reds, a trout, and some flounder! The fish are piled up in the marsh and bays following the menhaden. Book your trip while the fishing is easy!
