Fishing Season
Peak dates for big redfish and other productive months sometimes book quickly, so anyone planning on booking a trip should do so as early as possible to secure the date desired.
Top months for big redfish and black drum are December through May in the lagoon, and June through November in the inlet and nearshore. Juvenile reds up to 8lbs and trout are available year-round, with the winter months being particularly productive. Cobia is a limited season in spring and is dependent on temperatures and weather patterns. Nearshore fishing can be good all summer for most of the targeted species. One thing is for sure, regardless what time of year you book your trip, Capt. Billy will have you catching something good!
