Tides change. Fish move. We chase the rhythm and share what we find.
Stay up to date with current fishing conditions, recent activity, and seasonal patterns from the water. Our fishing reports are based on real trips, local knowledge, and an understanding that timing and tides matter more than hype.
Current Bite Report
Inshore Report
Fishing in the marshes, sounds, and protected waters has been steady when tides are moving.
Species activity
Red Drum: Good during early and late tide changes
Speckled Trout: Fair around grass lines and deeper pockets
Flounder: Occasional action near structure and channels
Notes
Live shrimp and soft plastics have been producing the most consistent bites. Focus on edges and areas with moving water.
Nearshore Report
Nearshore fishing has been weather-dependent, with calmer days offering the best opportunities.
Species activity
Spanish Mackerel: Active during moving tides
Bluefish: Fair, scattered schools
King Mackerel: Seasonal availability
Notes
Early departures and lighter winds improve success. Look for bait activity and structure.
Captain’s Notes
Every trip is different, but patterns repeat.
Right now, fish are responding best to steady tidal movement rather than slack water. When the current slows, action tends to drop off. Adjusting locations and staying patient has been key to consistent days.
Seasonal Outlook
Spring
Warming water brings increased activity for trout and flounder. Focus on deeper holes early in the season.
Summer
Early morning trips are best. Nearshore action increases when conditions allow.
Fall
One of the most productive times of year. Cooling water and bait movement create strong mixed-bag opportunities.
Winter
Slower pace but rewarding. Deeper channels and sunny afternoons produce the best results.
What’s Working Right Now
Bait and Lures
Live shrimp
Soft plastics
Small spoons and jigs
Tide Tips
Incoming tides often bring cleaner water
Outgoing tides can concentrate fish along edges and drop-offs
