Half Day Trip (AM)
Captain Walter was a top notch guide. He moved spots multiple times when the bite was slow. He was very meticulous in how he would position the boat so everyone could fish. He was very helpful to the 2 novice anglers that where part of our group, being right there to do something whenever they needed something done and giving advice when the opportunity arose. He was very knowledgeable about the area and could answer most any question you had to asked him. We started out the morning fishing sheepshead and when they quit cooperating we went after reds, that didn’t want to cooperate but Captain Walter tried hard to get them to, at one point he drove about 10 miles to try a different area. At the end of the trip we where able to walk away with 18 keepers and lots of unforgettable memories.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time on the water with Captain Bode. The fishing was definitely not on fire, but that was not because of anything within Captain Bode’s control. The bay was way up in water level from a previous storm in the gulf, the current was very strong and the wind was definitely blowing way harder than usual, all of which added to the degree of difficulty for fishing. Captain Bode also kept us dry the entire morning as we kept having to dodge pop up storms. We tried different baits and techniques and were moving around trying to track down the fish, but it just wasn’t meant to be a banner day on the water. That’s why they call it fishing and not catching. It still beat a day at the office! Captain Bode had a super nice boat, nice equipment and worked his tail off trying to get us on the fish regardless. I’d go fishing with him again without hesitation. Thanks Captain Bode!

It was a little windy and rough but Captain Bode put us on fish right away. He was getting calls from other captains asking advice on where the fish were hitting. We had our limit of sheepshead in about 2.5 hours. After that he took us out to the mangroves to fish for reds. We got our catch cleaned and even had some cooked up at a local restaurant for supper. We had a great experience and would highly recommend.
