Jan. 4, 2014 – Fantastic Fall and Winter Fishing
We have had a fantastic snook, redfish, trout, and tarpon bite this fall. The snook, redfish, trout, and black drum fishing will continue to get better as the water cools. The cooler water schools the fish up on the shallow flats. We are trying to book up as many dates as we can for the […]
May 16 – Everything, Everywhere
Spring and early summer is such a great time of year for fishermen along the central east coast of Florida as everything comes alive everywhere.

Fishermen and Fishers of Men
By nature of their profession, pastors and ministers in our community rarely get a change to gather collectively in a recreational setting and when a chance does come, it is so refreshing for them.

May 28, 2012 – Nearly Indescribable

A rare early season tropical system hovered over the Atlantic threatened […]
Apr. 28, 2012 – Fishing is Phenomenal!
There is an old saying, ‘April comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb,’ and this is typically an apt description of our weather conditions for early spring. However, since we had such a mild winter, spring actually roared into the area in early March rather than mid-April and the fishing has […]
