Rare Snook Days

Big reds are showing out right now and making their presence known in a big way. Overslot fish are stacked up in deeper holes and along channel edges, especially around moving water. Live mullet and cut bait have been getting crushed, with some fish pushing well into the upper 30–40 inch range. Early mornings and tide changes have been the ticket, with schools rolling through and lighting up rods quick. If you’re around structure—bridges, docks, or drop-offs—hang on, because when they eat, they’re not playing around. It’s that time of year where one bite can turn into chaos fast… and that drag better be set right. - Captain Austin

Redfish bite has been solid this week with fish cruising the flats and staging around oyster bars. Live bait and cut mullet have been getting it done, with a few oversized bulls mixed in. Speckled sea trout action is heating up as well, especially early morning on the moving tide. Throwing soft plastics and live shrimp under a popping cork has been producing steady bites. Water temps are right where they need to be—fishing only gets better from here. - Captain Austin

Kids have been stealing the show lately! ? From nonstop action to big smiles and even bigger fish, these young anglers are proving they’ve got what it takes. Nothing better than watching the next generation learn the ropes, gain confidence, and make memories they’ll never forget out on the water. -Captain Austin
