Here is an idea of what to expect of a typical day on the water:

We will meet at Speckled Trout Marina and will be fishing the area of St. Joseph's Sound. This is one of the best areas in Florida providing large trout, redfish, snook, tarpon, pompano and lots of other species of fish. The time of the year depends on the targeted species.  

Fishing the intracoastal waterways of the Gulf is similar to fishing a lake. This means that sea sickness is not a problem as the area is pretty well protected with barrier islands. Most of the water fished is between 1' to 6' deep and many times within a few hundred yards of land (land is always within site).

We primarily use spinning tackle due to the light lures or bait used in this type of fishing. If you are not familiar with this type of fishing gear we will gladly teach you. Fly fishing is an exciting way to catch these shallow fish so if this is your preferred angling method please feel free to bring your own fly rod.

We strongly encourage catch and release, it is rewarding to see them swim away. That said, if you would like to keep one or more fish for a great dinner, we will clean your catch. Any fish over your legal limit will be released immediately. You cannot count the captain as part of your legal limit.

We look forward to providing you with an enjoyable time out on the water on the beautiful gulf coast.

We will supply your fishing license along with all tackle and bait needed for the day.
