Great time fishing shallow waters - caught a variety of fish, very knowledgeable guide. Go in morning during summer - blazing hot & attempt to avoid the afternoon showers. Lots of fun!

Early spring fishing is best, but we did very well in midsummer. The area is very picturesque and even on a day with no fish the day on the water is worth in.

Bucket hats and gaiters, plenty of sunscreen, it was overcast for us and a nice breeze so the heat was not a factor on that day.

Bring plenty of water and continously apply sunscreen. Wear ultra lightweight and breathable clothing. I'd wear a long sleeve shirt, pants, hat, and polarized sunglasses. Remember that there's no shade or bathroom on smaller inshore boats.

The tide was coming in and it was really windy. Fishing was good. Higher tide would have made fishing better.

While it seemed that the dock talk while waiting was that the fishing was slow we still caught plenty of fish and had enough to take some home. Overall we caught over 6+ species.

The fishing was great and there were opportunities for us to catch more and different fish. The weather wasn't great and we had 25-30 mph winds, which kept us bound to Lemon Bay, but we caught plenty of Sheepshead.

Get a charter to show you around, as much moving as we did today you would never be able to do it on your own. You have to know where to go to find the fish!

If you’re looking to catch fish you will. When it comes to fishing it’s about patience, but as long as you have a good captain everything will turn out great.

It’s pretty hot, boat shoes and sun shirts were a good idea. Definitely recommend polarized sunglasses. The captain has almost everything else!
