Great trips both AM/PM today! Always nice when the bonito show up while casting jigs for pompano. Rounded out the AM half with a handful of nice snook. PM run, full boat of kids lots of action and a few tangles!

30/03/2021

Fun bite this AM with Joe catching his first snook followed up by several others along with a fast limit of pompano. Afternoon family trip had plenty of action casting jigs and shrimp.

26/03/2021

Action packed the last few days! Gamefish, food value fish, plenty of wind and sights aboard the Grand Slam!

12/12/2020

Fun morning with new clients picking away at the pompano and speckled trout. Good hook and cook outing with plenty of wildlife throughout the inshore from Naples to Marco Island.

28/10/2020

Beautiful and fishy out on the nearshore Gulf waters today. Solid action to include, Bonito/mackerels on fly and a surprise smooth back puffer fooled on a jig. Spectacular sunrise complimented our commute to the grounds.

Southwest Florida sunsets are truly spectacular! However, the beaches are closed limiting access to celebrating the end of another great day to be alive.

I am offering sunsets excursions to 6 passengers maximum with a 2 hour minimum booking. Bottled water, ice and great vibes included-just bring your favorite drinks and snacks.

The waters are clear and beautiful with eagles, ospreys, dolphins and manatees adding to the experience.

Call, email or message to schedule your trip today.

Fishing was active on today’s half day. Big Spanish mackerel, kingfish and other sea beasts hooked but not landed. Tomorrow, the bite will be good as well with many species available to target using live bait, spoons and jigs.

The waters are spectacular to fish, sightsee, anchor up and swim or just cruise while enjoying the refreshing salt air, dolphins and manatees.

Custom tailored trips now available for individual and same household family anglers.

Support your local guides, charters and outfitters!

Come Fish The Grand Slam!

As one would expect, the Grand Slam has incurred a flurry of CV related cancellations from anglers traveling to SWFL. While the schedule is not completely wiped out, there is availability to venture out onto the local coastal waters and enjoy fishing, wildlife, birding, swimming and shelling all within the safe confines of a clean vessel, the therapy of salt air and calm trade winds.

Trips can be custom tailored to anyone’s specific time/date, needs and budget.

We are closed today to spend the day with friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 everyone! Back on the grind again tomorrow.

Picked away at some nearshore cudas and snapper. No bait, no birds and mediocre tide-but we got the job done. All our hookups came on ballyhoo slow trolled using 12 # class spinning gear-fun light tackle battles.

COME FISHING we have a scattering of openings this week!

Some barracuda mayhem on this morning’s trip with some great clients who have been fishing with me since 1998. Doubled back to the inside for some pompano, snapper and snook as well. Fun 4th Of July Trip’

07/06/2019

Half-day Gulf bottom fishing has been tricky. However, we have enough species within the nearshore and inshore waters to keep the lines tight and bring home a fresh fish catch.

So far this spring the pompano bite has been outstanding. Today, these feisty/tasty members of the jack family did not disappoint. As many if not more were released than put in the fish box. 8-pound light tackle jig fishing.

25/04/2019

The various springtime bites have been solid both shallow and out on the nearshore arena. Still have a few 1/2-day openings for April and May. Let’s go catching!
