Cold temperatures definitely slowed the fishing down this last week of December, but there are definitely some strong fish that stuck around. Some nice snook , redfish and trout are back in the everglades holding in deeper water and some of the sun fed shallow flats. Book a 3/4 day or a full day and well run back there and give em hell. This fish took a 3 inch paddle tail , purple color.

Plenty of snook and trout to be had in the backcountry and gulf! This nice 38 inch snook took a white soft plastic jerk shad along the beaches. Also good speckled trout on popping corks and gulp shrimp and also slow rolling little paddletails on the grassflats. Come get out on the water and make some memories!!

Awesome mangrove snapper bite right now in the florida bay! We got on these with over 20mph winds blowing! Come down and lets get it done !! We kept a handful for dinner and released another bunch! Pilchard were tough due to the wind, so live shrimp and a jighead did the trick!

There have been no shortage of drag screaming , rod bending chunky jack crevalle showing up. These guys are hungry, willing to hit bait or artificials all day long! Awesome fish to have plenty of action and test your forearms !!

Alot of nice trout around the basins and deeper channels , plenty of fish in 17-20 inch range. Popping corks and live or artificial shrimp doing the trick. Also spanish mackeral and big mangrove snapper out in the gulf. Chumming heavy and drift live pilchard or shrimp back to get the bite . -Capt Joey

live shrimp, plastic paddletails, or live pilchard will produce plenty of snook ! also nice size mangrove and cubera snapper as bi-catch. A 6 or 8 hour trip will be required due to the run time needed to get to these areas. Also alot of juvenile tarpon willing to hit an artificial early in the morning.
