Find deep water canals and holes near vast shallow water grassflats and you'll find plenty of quick pickings for spotted sea trout and redfish with a spattering of Black Drum.

Between coldfronts look directly toward the shallow water adjacent to these holes. We've had 100± fish days lately and there seems to be no slowing down.

Come to Florida and Suffer thru our 70° coldfronts and call us for a quick hookup on Florida's Space Coast near Orlando.
