Well we finally got blasted with what I will call the first big cold front of the year. Temperatures plummeted in our region, water temps 10° air temperature 20° lows in the 50s last week and some incredibly negative tides put on a redfish extravaganza like it’s supposed to be.

We had incredibly good fishing last week with the cold water. The fish seem to be starving and did not mind artificial or live shrimp. It seems like the warming trend is already back with forecast in the 80s for the next 10 days. I hate to say this but winter feels over already, looks like we’re going to be having an early spring.

Lots of triple tail still around in our area and the snook bite is good as well,  not really any large fish but lots of numbers, big jacks are patrolling everywhere in the back. Offshore has been good as well when you can get out there. Kingfish and cobia have been in the mix but wind conditions will not let us travel there. We will be taking delivery of our new 28 foot Morgan in just a few months and will be able to dominate a little bit further offshore with a lot more consistency.

Our calendars are getting very full for this next month so please give us a call if you have any Charter questions.

Thank you and tight lines,
Captain Wes

Fishing in our region the last couple weeks have been not the typical December weather . We have been in a summer, fall almost pattern for the last few weeks, water temps have been in the mid 70s we have been strictly using pilchards, the water has just been too warm for the shrimp.

The backcountry fishing has been absolutely on fire, big Snook big  redfish big jacks have been the staple these last few trips . We are starting to see some cold fronts and some cooler water and for the future trips the next few weeks we will be going back-and-forth between shrimp and pilchards. Shrimp in the morning trips and pichards in the afternoon when everything warms up.

Season is in full swing, the snowbirds are here. Please book your trips accordingly if you know your parties best available day please let us know as soon as possible our calendars are getting extremely busy .

Thank you, tight lines. Captain Wes

We have been fishing rock piles docks anything that holds sheep head black drum trout redfish even some snook in the mix. Our calendar is extremely packed this time of the year but we do have some spaces available please call as soon as possible for your earliest bookings.

Family fun triple tailing was the staple for the week. The weather has been beautiful and we took full advantage of it. It’s hard to pass up some of these beautiful fillets for dinner and my clients were not complaining. We are averaging 1 to 3 fish per half day charter there’s been a lot around at least one for the table every trip.

The backcountry still remain solid, after triple-tailing we returned for a slew of Jack’s, Snook, redfish, trout, snapper, sheephead pompano full on winter fishery. We are starting to fill our calendars for the last two weeks of the year. It is full-blown season please book your trips accordingly!

Tight lines, Captain Wes

Mid November fishing report: triple tail fishing remains very consistent between the fronts. It seems all of the barely legal fish from last season are all between seven and 9 pounds. Amazing eating fish and my clients have not been complaining. We have been averaging at least one of these fish per Charter, and have lost some monsters!!

Backcountry fishing remains very good. We are right on the cusp of pilchards and shrimp. Water temps have been in the mid70s so shrimp have been working too.  Lots of mixed bag on the shrimp from Pompano sheephead  black drum and trout! We are definitely heading into our winter pattern!

So happy Thanksgiving everyone we are very busy this week hopefully we’ll hear from you soon!

Tight lines, Captain Wes!

The first cold front has made its way through our region. Fishing remains as solid as ever. Redfish are everywhere, it seems like sometimes we can’t get away from them, it’s not a bad thing! Lots of Snook and Jack’s fill in the gap’s.

Offshore and near shore, The inshore Wrecks have been providing lots of mangrove snapper, Sheephead some Spanish mackerel and even some Wreck Snook. Running to those spots we’ve been in countering lots of triple tail with some studs mixed in..
