The fishing has varied from one trip to another but I never tire of the experience of exploring those waters that I would never be able to navigate on my own. Having an experienced, conscientious captain take us out on a boat that is made for fishing in the flats which dominate that region has made very trip memorable.

We caught a lot of fish and a lot of different types of fish, but it would have been nice to have a few more keepers.

Make sure to check tides and weather conditions. Two and a half hours going into high tide up to two and a half after is actually best. Cold fronts not so great.

If you’re fishing during the summer months, get out on the water as early as possible because it gets hot the fish slowdown.

Very hot so be prepared. Go in the morning and get a knowledgeable guide like Bobby at Waterbiy charter.

There are several charter Capts there, hook up with one of them and enjoy your day out. Ask questions and learn about the area.

Water was 90 degrees in the mangroves not a ton of snook activity with the heat.

Stay at Ivey house. Recommend setting your date around incoming morning tide, not outgoing.

It's a long way from anywhere. Many businesses only take cash. Spotty cell service.
