These back to back cold fronts on the Gulf Coast have the fish stacked up deep in the backwaters where very few people can get to them due to our super negative tides. l have the boat and availability to get to those fish, so now is the time to book a charter with me.

Fall fishinbg
The weather is changing, the waters are cooling down, and the fishing is getting hot! In our area of the Gulf Coast, the fish are pushing deep into the backwaters, where most folks can't get to them due to our negative tides. I don't have that issue. My boat is setup for super shallow conditions, so the fish just can't hide from me. Redfish, snook, sheepshead, trout, black drum and more, await you. So, do your self a favor and book a trip with Snook Sniper Backwater Adventures! It will be an experience of a lifetime!

Snook Seaon is still on and the fishing is great! Many slot and over slot fish are being caught, along with plenty of redfish and trout action. Fall fishing in our area can't be beat! The weather and tides are great!

Chasing Reds Through the Homosassa Backwaters
Mark hit the low tides with me this morning. Started the morning off with a snook in the boat, then missed several short strikes. Moved deep into the backwaters that were loaded with reds, but they didn't want what we were throwing at them. Bounced around many areas chasing fish. Finally, cut lady fish landed a nice red and got a few big fish cut off in the oysters. Once the winds picked up and the rain started, we called it a day. I have openings this coming week, so get booked and let's put you on some fish!

Cooler Weather Means Hotter Fishing
The wind and rain the next couple of days will help drop the water temps even more. This is great for our fall transition. The fish are moving into the backwaters and are ready to eat!

Tsunami Reels Stand Behind Their Gear
This is customer service! I have been using Tsunami rods and reels for six years, without a failure. I replaced some reels a few weeks ago and had some of them break at the reel seat. I contacted Tsunami and sent in pictures and such. This is the response....Five reels that cost twice as much as the broken reels!

Big thanks to Captain Vic. Took my wife 9yo daughter and 16yo son out on fishing trip, and had a great day on the water. Caught a few new fish we never hooked into before and learned alot. Thanks again Captain, from the Martin family!

Dedicated and knowledgeable Guide. Patient and cares about his customers. I have used many guides for fishing and he is one of the best. Highly recommended.
February 8, 2026
Captain Vic was incredible, from the amount of fish we caught to all the knowledge he was pouring out. He was such a great guide. It was like going fishing with your grandpa. It was a really great experience.
February 8, 2026
Had an awesome day with Captain Vic. He knows about everything there is to know about the area and how to fish it. You know that you've got a good captain when he's almost more excited about you catching a fish than yourself. He somehow managed to have more than one story about anything that you ask and he'll make sure that you come back with a cooler full of fish, and a head full of knowledge. If you're wanting a fun day of catching fish with an awesome guy, Captain Vic is your man!

We had a great time going scalloping with Captain Vic and ended up getting the limit of scallops on our trip. I would definitely recommend booking a charter with him and will hopefully be back again next season for more scallops!
