April-July spring and summer times bring some of the best fishing Tampa Bay has to offer. Our inshore species are feeding heavy… Continue Reading
Port Canaveral, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Orlando April is here and we are one month closer to June. I am starting to believe it will be June before we get calm seas. The struggle has been real here for almost 3 months now. The wind has been relentless and the forecast is looking like… Continue Reading

There are few people worth knowing who do not love some perfectly seasoned and seared Yellowfin (Ahi) Tuna. Add to the Tuna a creative Shitake Mushroom & Onion Grill PLUS a Wasabi BBQ Sauce (whoever heard of such?) and you have a kickin’ meal landing square on your dinner table. Continue Reading
The first week of March has ranged from 70 to 76 degrees at times. There was lots of sunshine, bait, and a few negative tides. March is a transitional month; redfish and snook begin to make their way out of the backwaters and creeks heading for spawning grounds and bigger meals, in the bay and in the passes. Continue Reading
Spring has Sprung! It’s time to get out on Tampa Bay and enjoy one of West Coast Florida’s best fisheries. Both inside and outside of the estuary, things are firing on all cylinders. For me, the inshore bite for Redfish and Snook has been as good as it gets, with the shallow water population all healthy & hungry. Continue Reading
Cobia is the fish on every locals mind and with fuel being so expensive and cobia fishing being close. These fish are going to get punished if they actually pop. You better be first to find them, because by the time you see it on social media, too many boats are on it and it’s over. Continue Reading

It’s winter time and the eating should be, if not easy, at least fulfilling. Salmon burgers are one of my favorite memories from growing up, lo those many years ago. I make mine a little different than Mom did, but the Salmon…. oh, the Salmon! Smoked Salmon Burgers In Paradise – Ingredients The Fish Smoked… Continue Reading
After taking some time off, I’ve finally been on the water and after those fish again! The past month has been treacherous when it comes to cold weather and chilly winds, but when I’ve been able to get out, the fishing has been no less than incredible. Here on the nature coast, specifically in Ozello, we’ve got crystal clear Continue Reading
Ughhh February! This is lining up to be one of those Februaries where cold fronts stack perfectly and keep everyone from venturing out past the shoal most of the month. If it was totally up to me, I wouldn’t venture more than a few hundred yards off the beach until we see a solid 3 days of calm seas in a row. Continue Reading
