The King Mackerel season has officially started for us on the west coast of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico this week, as large schools of bait and Kings have arrived just offshore. We have been catching fish in the 15 to 20 pound range consistently with some smokers mixed in. Although our focus is…
It’s the heart of summer here in west Florida, which means heat. With temperatures well into the 90’s morning fishing is a must. Our inshore guides have been starting early and playing the tides has been paying off with Redfish, Snook and Trout among other things. The redfish action has been excellent as they are…
