Winter time is probably not the best time to fish. Colder water temps cools fishing off.

Highly recommend this trip. Captain was knowledgeable and out to make our trip what we wanted. We caught fish and he let me run alongside a school of dolphins. We will be repeating customers. Boat was very clean ! Very satisfied with our catch and he filleted them for us and gave us great cooking tips.

I would recommend patience and understanding of any situation. I am confident that if the weather was ideal, we would have caught some great sharks!

Avoid a cold snap if possible. If it's cold aim for the afternoon verses the morning. We spent more time in the backwaters due to rougher waters and high winds. Fishing was better on the gulf if you can handle the waters. A lot of dolphins scared off our fish but they were fun to watch.

Weโ€™re here annually around this time. Weโ€™ve had several great weather days but it does get cold from time to time. Just watch the forecast and dress appropriately and itโ€™s still a great trip!
