Trip Summary

Capt. Max is back after summer vacation! The north winds are here and the fall season is underway. Schools of tired fish are needing to eat after long journies. Baitfish are plentiful as well as sea turtles, dolphins and signs of a healthy ecosystem. Redfish and Snook are most prevalent, snapper are still around and cobia and triple tail. Tarpon are showing early in the morning and at sundown. Mackerel, bluefish, trout, and sharks are around the flats and bars. All inshore species are readily available. If you have a bucket list fish, now is the time. Get em’ before it gets too cold!
