Middle of April 2018 Fishing Report
Capt Jim took my wife and myself out for a bit of a teaching day. I must say it was a great experience! I call home in Ohio but have fished the Goodland Marco Island area for ten years on and off. New knots…better knowledge of the tides..jigging with spoons, location…drag and line set up for cut bait… and bait presentation. I soon realized I needed to slow down my entire fishing techniques.
We were really not out to load the cooler but did save a few of the many trout caught for dinner and released a beautiful 22″ trout. Tarpon were just coming in but no luck….wife missed a web site posting snook…spinner shark to the boat…some nice jack…and lady fish for some cut bait lessons.
Follow Captain Jims suggestions and he will put you on fish. I have been on multiple backwater charters and have finally found one who wants to catch fish and not worried about getting back and cleaning his boat!!

“Captain Jim took me and my two step sons out to fish the mangroves. He knew what fish were out there and how to read the water. In no time we were bringing them in! Jim coached us on details of fishing technique that resulted in a great catch. It was a great experience and made a family memory.”

“We want to thank you for a fantastic fishing trip! We were looking at the pics this morning and Steve is reliving the catching of the “big” ones we had to throw back. We have the proof in the pics, that it’s not just a fishing tale.
I cooked the trout just the way you told us and we have never tasted anything so good. Can’t wait for the beer battered drum nuggets for dinner tonight.
We’ll contact you in January to set up another trip.”
“A great day fishing with Captain Jim. We had a great time and the sea trout were delicious. Hooked a big tarpon and had some fun with it.”
