Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Report
It’s a great month to go out fishing as the catches remain strong. Let’s get into the water and experience the bites of Spotted Sea Trout and Sheepshead. Other than the two, Redfish is at its best! Went out and caught a beauty, after measuring and weighing, all I can say is wow! 30” & 10#. They are fattening up for winter and fishing is at its best for the year! Join me and book a trip.

Bulls are showing up early!
Pretty awesome timing with fall break getting underway! Still have a Jack Crevale popping up. Hook into either species and it'll be a trip that you'll never forget!

Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 29, 2025
We had an AMAZING experience with Trey! Trey grew up in the area so he definitely knows where to go. He told stories and kept us entertained throughout the whole trip! We ended up landing a couple of nice fish and had fun doing it! He has an obvious passion for fishing and was just as happy as we were to catch fish. I can not recommend him enough(:
May 29, 2025
We all had a great time fishing with “Cap’n Trey”!!! Boys got a little tired and hot but Trey found us some shade to keep on fishing in for a while. Think the boys loved riding on the boat and seeing some dolphins more than reeling in the cats. All in all was a great day on the water. Thank you for a good time!
May 29, 2025
FIVE STARS!!!!!!!! Captain Trey understood that we all wanted to fish but should focus on my two grandsons and he did just that! He's great with kids. He was on top all the time and he maintained his boat well. I highly recommend him!
May 29, 2025
Captain Trey was very good with kids! He taught everyone how to cast correctly, how to keep their lines and poles ready, and he helped them catch many catfish, skip jack, and even a stingray! He was very patient and really did his best to provide a great experience. We highly recommend him!
May 29, 2025
FANTASTIC experience! We all loved the trip! We were so grateful for his understanding! Age ranges were 22-26 and the four of them talked for hours about Captain Trey and their afternoon! We are happy to bring home many fish.. I Highly recommend it! It says a lot when someone can entertain four 20-somethings without drinking alcohol for an entire afternoon! :) Thank you for taking such great care of us! Best experience of our entire trip to Florida!
May 29, 2025
Captain Trey was an exceptional guide. He made sure the children learned and experience something amazing! We caught 23 fish in 2 hours. We will definitely book again.
