The weather has been slightly more consistent this week and it’s finally starting to warm up out there! Off shore/nearshore reports are starting to trickle back in. We had wahoo reported earlier in the week about 50 mi out. Red grouper mangrove snapper and lane snapper have been pretty steady in about 50′ of water. […] The post Fishing Report-Frid...

Fishing across Tampa Bay this week has been extremely consistent, especially on the shallow grass flats during moving water. Redfish have been cruising the edges early in the mornings, with several quality fish coming off light tackle around oyster bars and mangrove shorelines. As the sun gets higher, we’ve been finding snook staged tight t...

OFFSHORE- Sailfish action early in the week was absolutely on fire with numerous boats getting ten plus chances. The bite was good up and down the line; with some of the best action coming from the Lake Worth Pier up to Palm Beach Inlet. Depth bounced around a bit; but 150-225' remains a fairly consistent depth. Per usual; a frisky live goggle eye...

Snake River As mentioned in previous reports cooler days over the past three months or so have been more productive than warmer days and we have had a lot of the latter.  We may have finally crossed the threshold over the past two weeks where warm days are now starting to fish better.  The best action is occurring in ledge rock pools eddies and al...

Fishermen coming in this morning reported pretty decent fishing. The gravel bar activity was ok but showed some signs of slowing down. Perch and Walleye activity is improving on the shallow reefs and basin areas.  They are not “jumping out of the holes” by any means but they are well worth the effort for sure.  […] The post February 11th 2026 firs...

We had a productive trip on the lower Roanoke earlier this week catching some nice 5-10 pounds stripers on light tackle. Check out the pictures from Tom and Kenny’s trip. Let’s go!

Still snowing lightly this morning and it is supposed to snow off and on all day. The overnight portion was a little less than predicted a nice refresh on our snow cover. The big news though is the temperature. Not over freezing but 27 which is close and well over the highs for the last few weeks. It almost feels like summer!

Nice kingfish!

Our catch rate has been 20 per day. A big group sp...
