Mixed Bag

The redfish forgot to read the weather forecast and showed up hungry anyway. We put a bend in the rods, made a few drags sing, and proved that bad hair from boat rides is worth it. The fish cooperated just enough to make everyone look like a pro. If your arms aren't a little sore and your camera roll isn't full, did you even go fishing? ?? - Captain Austin

Another great day on the water in downtown Jacksonville! We had the privilege of spending the day with a few NFL players, chasing redfish and making memories. The fishing was steady, the laughs were nonstop, and everyone put some quality fish in the boat. It was a pleasure sharing our fishery with such a great group. Tight lines! ??

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
