Book Now the Bite is Back!
Book Now the Bite is Back!
Apr 27, 2024 Oak Hill
The Trout bite is back and now on the up-swing! Saturday morning 10 minutes from the dock we were on a GREAT bite of Trout. Every throw was a Trout; not all were keeper size, most were 14 inch, but what a bite! And in between the Trout were Lady fish, not much use, but a great fight! On the second stop, constant hook-ups but all small Trout. Not wanting to waste the resource we moved on. The next stop brought out a Shark, some Jacks, and a small Snook. On our last stop we ran into a school of Redfish! We brought up 4 good fighters! We can't keep them right now so we ambled on to the dock. Talking and laughing about what we caught, what got away, and who's afraid of the Shark! It's time to get your fishing trip booked for the summer. Captain Neal

Thanksgiving Week Raining Redfish
Thanksgiving Week Raining Redfish
Nov 23, 2023 Oak Hill
The weather was windy, the water was a little choppy in spots and the sun peeked in and out of the clouds a little each day... But it might as well have been raining redfish! That's how many we caught! The first day (Wednesday), i took out Chad and Kari for a few short hours. They brought 9 redfish, 2 snook and a few mangrove snapper to the boat. It was Kari's day and everywhere she cast she was catching the reds! Poor Chad was a good sport about it, even though Kari gave him her spot on the bow he still didn't catch one. Friday Art and his grandson Daniel got a bit of a late start on another partly cloudy and windy morning but the wind died down a little and we got on the redfish on the first stop and before the morning was over they had caught 30 head of reds, a 20 inch trout, 4 snook and 7 mangrove snapper. WOW!!! They were sure some happy fishermen when we got back to the dock! If this is any indication of what is to come, the redfish season is going to be fantastic!!

We went out early to avoid as much heat as possible. We watched the sun come up and the bait shower across the water in front of us. no sooner did the sunlight hit the water and the first trout hit the deck! We reeled in some small ones and a couple of slot sized and decided to move a little. I don't know if the dolphins were leading or following but everywhere we found good fish they seemed to find us! We were almost ready to come in when Josh got a runaway hit and a 27" snook exploded out of the water and it was a site to see! He put up a good fight but it just ended too soon. it was a great way to end the day!

If you know your way around and brought your lucky rabbit's foot you might be able to find a little school of golden glory! We found these beauties around the bend in a small little hole in the wall up the river. What a thrill for about 45 minutes to an hour! Too bad it doesn't happen every day! WoW!!!

Black Drum, Rdfish and Snook!
Black Drum, Rdfish and Snook!
Feb 17, 2020 Oak Hill
For the last few weeks the Haulover Canal in the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge has been the place to be for big Redfish and big Black Drum. There have been several large schools milling around. Night and day. It seems that the best bait to use has been Blue Crabs with Shrimp coming in a distant second. It also seems that the best time was at night with a lot being caught either just after dark or just a couple of hours before daylight. We did have some luck in the mid-morning on shrimp and lucked up on some nice Drum. If you have some large shrimp you could even end up with some Snook. Good luck and good fishing!
