Happy holidays to everyone!

This April we have quite a mixed variety of fish cooperating with anglers. Inshore, its been jack, ladyfiish, bluefish, snook and pompano caught on ultra light spinner and fly rods.

The Atlantic ocean has been a very good place to wet a line when the conditions are favorable.
Some of the fish we recently caught include, kingfish up to 30-pounds, mackerel, albies on fly, jumbo jack up to 35-pounds, cobia, giant sharks, dorado, yellowtail and mutton snapper. Not to be outdone by the giant goliath groupers.

The ocean, like the air temperature is already warmer than usual, in turn some of the summer fish are already showing up. We are keeping an eye out for permit, snook, and tarpon which may be here any day.

God Bless,

Good day!

So far March has started out rather windy, with some turbulent seas. That's ok, we always have a Plan B ready to engage. Which means fishing inside the inlet around seawalls, grass flats, or mangrove estuaries.

Equipped with ultra light spinners, using top water plugs,  Jeff and Jay of the midwest caught some hard fighting jack.

 Most of the fish were good sized with one jumbo that took the younger Jay about 15 minutes to land.
Top water bait, is one of my favorite fishing methods, although the action can be slow to boring at times, a fish will chase your bait with heart stopping, explosive splashes, sometimes following the bait all the way to the boat. 

Wow, it can be exciting!


Good luck and God bless,

Hello and welcome to my site.

Today was another beautiful day fishing on the Treasure Coast. While it was a bit breezy, nobody complained.

It was nice having 3 experienced fishermen, fly-casting and spin fishing on board the boat today.

John, Mike and Bob from Rhode Island caught at least 30 ladyfish, and a variety of other fish which include, mutton snapper, lane snapper, jack, croaker, lizardfish, and our surprise species, Mike's  pompano on fly.

Nice catch guys,

Hello again fellow fishing fans!

Today, Karl, Dennis, and Jim, caught about 30-plus fish on the grass flats using ultra light tackle.

Our bait was the classic combo of hand tied jigs and shrimp.

The day was textbook perfect. We all had  fun!

God Bless,

Lance and Samantha  (6-years old ) of Wellington fished inshore and caught a variety of  jack, ladyfish, croakers, and runners.

The action was consistent using hand-tied jig and shrimp combos, on ultra-light spin tackle.

Samantha was a quick learner catching multiple fish on her own after a little teaching.
We lost count of our 50-point per fish that Sam caught.

Good job Sam!

Good fishing and God Bless,

Good day fishing fans!

Today we went hunting for the hard fighting, long running, "smoker" or jumbo kingfish.

The winds were variable from the north northwest, moving around to the north on occasion. Sky was overcast most of the day with the sun poking out only once in a while. Air temperature was bouncing from the 50's in the A.M., to the 60's during the middle of the day, then dropping when the sun got low in the sky. 

All in all it was very pleasant on the water, only a  1-2 foot seas. 

We started out catching some live bait. Once the wells were filled, we headed out to the deep blue sea.
There we drifted and anchored our way to some  fast action fishing. The strange thing was it was all kings nothing else, although we did have a big battle with a mystery fish that got away before we could see it.
I think the most we waited was  20-minutes between bites. The fish all weighed between 17 to 51 pounds, and we had one fish that almost took all our 340 yards of line before it broke free.

Good fishing, good luck and God bless,
