Chasing the Bite

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
