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, learning offshore out of Stuart, FL under the guidance of my father and legendary captains VJ Bell and Patrick Price. My expertise spans deep dropping for snapper, grouper and tilefish, precision sight-casting for snook, and targeting pelagic species such as mahi and sailfish. I earned my inshore knowledge the old-school way—through countless hours on the water across the state. Book a trip with me and expect a professional, high-energy experience and a great shot at catching fish.
