Had a great day on the water with this father & son duo from Dallas on their spring break fishing trip! They were able to box their limit of trout and caught a few reds & sheepshead as well! Thanks again for coming fishing with me! Enjoy y'alls catch!

This morning we loaded the boat and headed out at our usual time of 5:30 to get a jump on the early morming bite. We took a anxious 10 min ride to the stomping grounds. It was non-stop action catching trout cast after cast with the occasional redfish in the mix. By 10 we had our 150 trout and 6 redfish. We took the scenic route back to the dock and enjoyed some great fish stories while cleaned and bagged the filets. Thanks again guys for coming fishing with Fin-tastic Charters.

Today was a fabulous day on the water. The day started out great and got better as it went on. We were blessed with a mild breeze for a change, which allowed us to get out to the honey hole. We were using live shrimp under a popping cork and caught our limit of 125 beautiful big trout by 11:00. It was a picture perfect day. It don't always happen this way, but today was one of those special moments in life that makes memories that last a lifetime.

Today our trip started out with plenty of fog, but we took our time and made our way to the first fishing hot-spot. We were using a mixture of live shrimp and plastic minnows under a popping cork. In no time Timothy and Preston were reeling in some beautiful Grand Isle speckled trout. But unfortunately a weather front was coming through causing the wind to start blowing hard and the tide to start running out fast. Soon the trout bite was off and we moved into protected waters and hit the next 3 spots with the same result. The trout just refused to bite in the weather conditions. So we changed our target and went for redfish. We pulled into one of my favorite redfish holes and presented live shrimp (Caroline rigged) in front of the rock structure. We were laughing, cutting up and having a good Ole time reeling in the reds. We caught 21 reds, but were only able to boat 6 due to the rest were 1/2" under legal size. But soon the weather turned worst and we had to make out way back to the marina while the seas permitted. We ended up with 25 beautiful specks and 6 reds. Not a bad trip for February. And we made friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks again to Timothy and Preston for choosing me to bring y'all fishing to catch yall's first speckled trout and redfish. See yall again soon.

It was a beautiful, calm Louisiana morning. My guest and I grabbed some breakfast and set out for our short ride to the fishing grounds. Within 15 min we were casting our lines. Immediately we were reeling in snapper, along with mackerel, blue fish, shark and redfish. The guys only wanted the snapper, so we released all the other species we caught. In a couple hours we returned to the dock to clean and pack their catch for their drive home. Thanks guys for another Fin-tastic time on the water.

It was another beautiful day on the island for my crew from Florida. Ed, Bobby, Danny and John climbed aboard for their Fin-tastic Louisiana fishing trip, and we set sail to the promised land. We hit our first stop and started catching some nice trout. The tide stopped there, so we made our way to the next honey hole where we boated a pile of redfish and channel mullet. Then my crew said they were up for snapper action, so we rode out to one of my favorite rigs and caught a mess of snapper and Spanish Mackerel. After filling the 150 qt ice chest to the top, we headed in so I could clean and bag their catch for the long trip back to Ft Myers. We ended the day catching 15 redfish, 30 speckled trout, 40 channel mullet, 5 Spanish Mackerel and 12 snapper. Thanks again guys for coming fish with me. Capt John Fin-tastic Charters
