Background
My passion for fishing and being on the water began with my grandfather taking me fishing offshore in Ocean City, Maryland at the age of 6.The enjoyment I get from my clients excitement boating a grouper or my mate gaffing a Wahoo only adds to my passion to continue searching for that trophy wall hanger or bottom bumping for that reminiscent back water flounder.
Techniques
Trolling the blue water for Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo and billfish is an exciting action packed day or deep water bottom fishing for Grouper and other reef/wreck species.

2026 Red Snapper Season
2026 Red Snapper Season
Nov 11, 2025 Fernandina Beach
Hello Anglers, Unbelievable news from Fernandina Beach . Our Florida Governor Ron Desantis held a press conference this morning here at Fernandina Beach, Fl. He and his staff along with FWC and others have been working hard to have control of the Red Snapper fishery along the Atlantic coast of Florida and it is now a reality that we will be having a Red Snapper season like we have not seen in years. Beginning May 22, 2026 thru June 30, 2026 Red Snapper season will be open. Then beginning in October 2026 we will have some weekends. Pipe Dream Charters will be accepting bookings for 2026 Red Snapper Season. These open dates will not last long.

2025 fishing season
2025 fishing season
Jan 18, 2025 Fernandina Beach
HELLO ANGLERS, It's the beginning of a new year and already the bite is hot black sea bass, triggers, vermillion snapper and the endangered red snapper. The bite is so hot it's going to melt the snow that's forecast for northeast Florida this week. Yesterday Pipe Dream III was 50 miles offshore bottom fishing. The Lane Snapper bite was on fire along with vermillion snapper and red snapper. We moved 20 miles closer to shore when the wind picked up. It didn't take long to start catching some nice black sea bass and vermillion snapper, we still couldn't escape the endangered red snapper, they are everywhere. Note, just a few day ago I did receive a NOAA bulletin about increasing our red snapper season for 2025. Looking ahead into the upcoming 2025 season: The Wahoo run is already starting, with some nice fish being weighed. Gulf stream blue water trolling for Tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, Sails and Blue Marlin will be heating up in March and their north bound migration should continue strong thru May. Deep drop bottom fishing for Mutton Snapper, Mangrove Snapper and other deep dwellers is happening now and will continue but getting out there is weather dependent. Grouper season opens May 1st. March is typically when the Big Black Drum start showing up near shore and the Red Fish will fill in the gap between bites. March also ushers in near shore trolling for Spanish Mackerel. If you have young children the jetties and river offer some nonstop action for Whiting and the kids get a blast catching sharks. As the waters warm and the pogies begin showing up the Kings are right behind them. Trolling for Kings is fast action as they will run 100 yards before you can blink. The Kings aren't the only ones chasing the pogies The Tarpon AKA " Silver King" will be trolling the jetties in search of some menhaden. If you are meat hunters or just looking for some fast rod bending action, now is the time to book a charter with Pipe Dream Charters while we still have some available open dates. Call Capt. Scott at **hidden content** or **hidden content**

Sheep head fever! Me and my friends fished with Captain Scott on Pipe Dream Charters Thursday December 19th. We departed from the dock at 7am, had a little bit of fog on the ride out but wasn't bad at all. We were targeting sheepshead and black drum and boy did we catch them!! The sheepshead are very tricky to catch but once you get the hang of it they are fun fish to fight! Captain Scott was awesome, it was a very good time. I appreciate it Captain Scott and highly recommend Pipe Dream!

Sheephead are tricky to catch. If you feel the bite it's got your bait. These anglers had the touch.
