Alright anglers summertime is here and so are the big snook and Goliath grouper. Snook season is closed until September 1st but we can still get the drags screaming fighting them elusive line siders. Goliath grouper are also closed and a protected species but we can still wrangle one of those 500 plus lb monsters to the boat for a quick pick. There have big tarpon up and down the beach so if it's calm enough seas that is always a possibility to target the silver king. We've been catching some redfish and big trout in the lagoon along the spoil islands as well as big inshore mangrove snapper in the lagoon. Offshore trips are closed at the moment but hopefully we can get some things worked out in order to get back out in the deep water this summer. Don't pass up the bowfishing trips though. If you're a good shot with a bow you'll be sure to fill up the cooler with delicious wild tilapia.

Yep, the summer heat is here. We're definitely finding some big snook but getting them to bite has been another obstacle. Catching some nice big jack crevalle inshore which has made for some awesome fights, also getting big inshore mangrove snapper in the river along with a bunch of small black grouper. Bowfishing was on fire the other night, the tilapia have been everywhere and we were filing the cooler. If you haven't done it, you gotta give bowfishing a try, it's the most fun thing to do on the water.

It's coming into spring break time, so we'll have limited spots available. We get booked up pretty quick this time of year. Let's start off with the weather, we'll it's been hit or miss as usual. It's been windy, rainy, and cold most of February. March should be warming up a bit though. When the days are available offshore trips have been very productive. We've had a few nice days in the last couple weeks, so last minute decisions to run out have paid off. The snapper bite has been amazing. Nice sized mangrove and lane snapper, triggerfish, sheepshead, pompano, bluefish, and kingfish, along with an occasional cobia have all been taking the bait. Inshore on the other hand has been hit or miss. The heavy winds have been making the lagoon very dirty. With dirty water makes it almost impossible to site fish anything unless they're active on top. The cold fronts and heavy winds have put a damper on most days but we're managing. The snook bite at the inlet has been tough as well. There's been a solid 10 degree difference in water temps from the ocean side to the river side. One day is hot the next day is not. The inlet has been holding a decent amount of jack crevalle which offer an awesome fight and there has been some occasional monster bluefish around. There's been a good number of blacktip and spinner sharks being caught along the beach and nearshore reefs. When mother nature allows us, we're having good luck on the nearshore reefs catching weakfish and lane snapper. The big manta rays have started to show up outside the inlet and if you're lucky they'll have some cobia tagging along with them looking for an easy meal. Bowfishing has been excellent at night. We've found some solid spots in one of the lakes that offers some fantastic trips. Tons of tilapia everywhere you look, some customers are getting upwards of 300 shots a night. The day trips are ok, but nighttime is where it's at for bowfishing out here.

Captain Shane Clause has been busy getting things together. Fixing equipment, scouting hunting land, and finding fish. Well December has started off pretty good so far. We had a little cold front this past week which really turned on the bite. As the front passed and the winds died down the fishing got hott. The snook bite is definitely back on fire again, with and occasional redfish, bluefish, and spanish macks in the mix. Pigs and pins have been the main baits for the snook with a few hits on shrimp as well. Today we put 4 slot snook in the boat within 20 minutes. The flounder have also started biting pretty good in the inlet. Finger mullet, shrimp, pilchards, and jigs will work for the flounder. Flounder season just opened Dec 1st so we can now start putting some flatties in the box. Snook season will be closing here soon on Dec 15th until Feb 1st. The last couple weeks have been pretty slow as far as business goes so Captain Shane has been in the woods looking for big bucks and scouting hunting land out here in the swamp for our hunting trips. We've seen a few nice deer, and lots of wild hogs every trip. We are now offering hunting trips so check out our hunting page for details. "Hunting, Fishing, Loving Every Day"

Just as the title says, the bite is on again!!!! Snook and redfish have been hitting pretty good again at the inlet and the lagoon has been producing some decent numbers of redfish. It's still a little breezy most days but that's the time of year. This is also the time of year I like to go after those prison fish, them good ole tasty sheepshead. Snook season will be coming to a close pretty soon (Dec 15) so get a trip booked before the closure. We have lots of open slots right now until the end of the year. If you want to get a little hunting in, we are providing deer hunting trips as well, just message us for details.

November has started off pretty rough for most fishing days. It was crazy windy the whole first week of the month. We've had some drops in the water temps and the seas have been really rough, not to mention the water being very dirty. We've been catching a few little ones here and there but it's just not been that great. The second week had some decent conditions and the fish started biting pretty good at the inlet. Snook, redfish, jacks and cubera snapper were all in the mix. Unfortunately next weeks forecast looks to be a very windy week again but that's how it goes this time of year. Went out a couple days ago to scout around bowfish and noticed the St. John's Water Management did some spraying in our area to control the hyacinth vegetation. This is not a bad thing for the future but sucks for right now. Unfortunately didn't see any fish in the area like there were a couple weeks prior. Getting rid of some of the vegetation will help give us more area to fish because the hyacinth was getting way out of control. Since business has been pretty slow and fishing conditions have been really crappy this month, I decided to change it up a bit and do a little deer hunting. The second day out of general gun and I got to tag me a nice 8 point buck in the swamp. Took the airboat out in the marsh to our local hunting area, found a nice spot in one of the cypress heads, sat quietly for a few hours and then there he was. This was a super exciting day for me because I grew up hunting out there with my dad but he has always been with me and basically showing me where to go. This time I was all by myself, hunted a totally different area then what we usually do and I found him. I absolutely love catching big fish but the adrenaline rush you get from a nice buck walking out in front of you is a whole other level of excitement. Hours of sitting still looking at the same trees is freaking boring, relaxing but boring. Then all of a sudden you hear a branch crack and water splash, you look over and see movement, your heart starts racing a million miles a minute, your hands are shaking, and your breathing is almost out of control. You have to tell your self to calm down. It's an amazing feeling for sure. If anybody would like to try hunting in the swamp, give me a shout, we hunt for white tailed deer, wild hogs, and wild turkeys, can't guarantee anything but it's definitely a fun experience.
