In these old Big Bend shallows, redfish have been a staple long before there were charter boats and boat ramps. They hit like a freight train and fight like hell, with a table fare folks have prized for generations. You’ll find ‘em year-round, but when that first cool snap rolls through in October and hangs around till May, the bite turns on. April and May are prime for sight fishing ‘em in the skinny stuff, tailing in the grass and cruising oyster bars, just like they’ve done for centuries.
These waters have been known for trout since before most folks can remember. Year-round, you’ll find ‘em prowling the flats, but when that fall chill hits and runs through spring, the numbers stack up. January and February are when the cold bring ‘em in thick, and if it’s a gator trout you’re after, one of those heavy, old fish folks tell stories about, mid-March to mid-May is your time. Out here, every cast feels like it might be the one you’ll be talkin’ about for years.
Folks ‘round here’ll tell you, there ain’t much better eatin’ than a fresh-caught Tripletail. Ugly as sin and mean as a snake on the hook, but drop one in the grease and you’ll see why they’re a favorite in these parts. We chase em hard from mid-May through September, when they start hangin’ around markers, crab traps, and driftin’ flotsam. It’s a sight to see one laid up like a floating log ‘til you toss a bait and watch the water explode. If you’re itchin’ to tangle with one, give us a holler.
If you know, you know, come May, the cobia start showin’ up, and it’s game on. Big, brown-backed bruisers cruisin’ the markers and rays, lookin’ for a fight. Folks ‘round here live for it, and let me tell you, when one hits, you’ll feel it in your bones. It’s a short window, and with so many folks chasin’ ‘em, the wise ones book their trips on weekdays to dodge the crowds and get first shot at the fish. If you’ve never tangled with a cobia, you’re missin’ out on one of the Gulf’s best.
When the water heats up from late spring through summer, the sharks move in thick, and out here, we don’t shy away from ‘em. Blacktips, bulls, spinners, bonnetheads, hammerheads, you never quite know what’s gonna grab your line next. We like to hook ‘em on lighter tackle, where every run’ll make your drag sing and your arms ache. It’s good, gritty fun the way our old-timers did it, no heavy gear, just man against beast in the salt air.
In addition to our target species, these waters never disappoint when it comes to variety. You’ll reel in flounder, Spanish mackerel, snook, cobia, tarpon, and plenty more, each day a fresh adventure and the Gulf always keeps you on your toes. Whether it’s a surprise catch or a familiar favorite, you never quite know what’ll be on the other end of that line, and that’s what makes every trip unforgettable.
Scallopjng is fun for people of all ages. We often refer to it as an adult Easter egg hunt. You will snorkel around in the shallow water grass flats looking for the delicious bay scallops. Fresh scallops are much sweeter in taste compared to ones you can buy elsewhere. The season typically opens mode June until Labor Day. This is extremely popular and we often book prime dates a year in advance, so don’t wait too late to book this trip.
We offer coastal duck hunting. The most common species includes redheads, bluebills, and buffleheads. Other species which have been taken are teal, wood ducks, pintail, and more. See our duck hunting page for more information
These trips are often night trips targeting flounder, sheepshead, and mullet. It requires little to no wind for best visibility.
