Our winter fishing trip couldn’t have gone better. The boat was spacious, the gear was quality, and we caught plenty of slot-size redfish.

We fished oyster bars and grass flats, and every stop produced! My personal favorite was the topwater redfish bite just after sunrise.

The captain clearly knew these waters like the back of his hand. We didn’t have to wait long before hooking into some serious trout.

This was our first inshore trip, and it exceeded expectations. We hooked black drum, speckled trout, and even got a surprise bluefish. A+ day.

Even with a cold front moving in, Captain made sure we stayed on fish. Caught a couple of chunky redfish and had a blast out there.

Big win all around. Caught plenty of fish, including a fat flounder that we grilled that night. The Cape Horn handled great too.
