The kids have been stealing the show lately, and honestly, it’s been some of the best fishing of the season. Rods have been bent with redfish and trout, and the excitement when a young angler hooks up never gets old. A few flounder in the mix have kept things interesting too. We’ve been keeping it simple and fun—light tackle, steady action, and lots of hands-on learning. From first casts to first fish, these kids are picking it up quick and having a blast doing it. Nothing better than watching the next generation fall in love with fishing—safe to say the future of the sport is in good hands. ? - Captain Austin

Solid bite on the St. Johns River this week with redfish, speckled trout, and flounder showing up on the grass flats and oyster bars. Live shrimp and light tackle did the trick, producing steady hookups and a few quality slot reds and keeper trout for the box. Clean water and calm conditions made for great sight fishing and comfortable time on the water. Fun, productive trip and plenty of fresh fillets to take home. -Captain Austin
