Brandon with the first trophy drum bite of the day, and his first ever gorgeous citation redfish! This is a real special fish to me, Brandon is half of the husband/wife team that are responsible for this site and other big things the Captain Bates brand will be bringing to the table! I owe them both so much, and will be showcasing them both more in the future! Its easy to take for granted the experiences that we get on the water every day, but seeing others experience it all for the first time will make you remember how blessed we are!

Nathan with a stud 50" male red drum! So dude lands his first ever citation trophy drum, and then a few minutes later crushes his new personal best, with one of the largest males I have ever put in the boat! These guys stuck it out with with me today, high winds and post cold front conditions early, after lunch everything laid out and conditions came together for an epic bite!

Morning wind and weather was not very conducive for finding old drum so we played with the specks until conditions improved greatly after lunch!

Everyday on the water is a blessing, Capt. Andy understands this. He works hard to make sure every guest on the boat has the opportunity to be successful, while learning, laughing, and making great memories that will last a lifetime!
Big fish or fishing big, either way, the best way to spend a day
