Things To Do In Stuart FL

Last weekend we started off with a 1 and done throw with the net. Then ended up with several just below slot fish, several large jacks, bluefish and had an upper 30” fish case down a pilchard but never fully committed to the bait. Fishing should be great this weekend as well! If you don’t have plans for the weekend yet, hit us up and let’s get out there!

Night Jigging

I’ve been fishing Florida waters since the age of three, getting my start offshore out of Stuart, FL alongside my father. Over the years I’ve built experience deep dropping for snapper, grouper, and tilefish, sight-casting for snook, and targeting pelagic species like mahi and sailfish. My knowledge was earned the old-school way—through thousands of hours on the water. When you book a trip with me, you can expect a professional, high-energy day and a great opportunity to catch fish.
