Had one incredable Fall. It's been more like late spring, lots of bait everywhere, warm water and good fishing.

Last week had Jack from NY on board with his wife and on the second cast he hooked something big.

With 10lb test we couldn't apply too much pressure and not knowing what it was I wanted to make certain we landed it. After 35 minutes a beautiful 40 inch Red came in the boat.

The next day I had Tom and Dick from Pennsylvania and we had a great day. We struggled for a few hours but once we found em' it was non-stop! We caught nearly 40 Snook between 25 and 31 inches and several large trout 3 to 6 pounds.

Bio: A typical day out on the water, is never so typical. We start out with a leisurely ride through the backcountry in Mangrove lined channels. I almost always see MANATEE, usually see big ALLIGATORS and don\'t be surprised to see a BALD EAGLE or two! The water is golden brown, typically too dark to see through until we start stalking fish in the shallows. Almost immediately, bait will be jumping, tarpon will be rolling and gulping air and snook will be \"Popping\" the surface catching bait. I call my fishing experience unique. I do however understand the urge for fresh fish, and if you want it fresh, I\'ll get it for you! I have found a reliable, fun and action packed way to catch some of the most sought after game fish and I am anxious to share it with you. In as little as 4 hours we can catch Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout, Snapper, Shark, Jack, Grouper, Sheepshead and more!
