Destin, Florida Fishing Report for Inshore Bay Fishing Charters and Near shore Gulf

11/27/2018

0 Comments

 
It's November, colder weather and hunting season is upon us.  The days are shorter and the temps are colder but there is still fish to be caught.  The challenge this time of the year is finding pretty days to get on the water with fronts coming through frequently.  This is one of my favorite time of the year to fish because sometimes it feels like you have the entire bay or gulf to yourself. 

On our Inshore bay fishing charters the bite has been good most days.  The cold weather has cooled down the big time and we are no longer seeing red tide.  All of the bait has moved to deeper water and our main two baits now are live shrimp and artificial lures.  In the fall and winter when the water temps drop fish begin to move slower so remember to be patient and work any artificial lure slower.  As far as what is being caught we have been seeing good numbers of blackdrum around structure.  While fishing for blackdrum we are also catching redfish and some sheepsheads as well.  In the back bay there is a mixture of redfish, speckled trout, and white trout to be caught.  Majority of the flounder have migrated out to inshore wrecks in the gulf but there are still some to be caught around the bay. 

On our near shore gulf charters we are primarily bottom fishing with majority of the surface biting fish like king mackerels moving offshore.  Always keeps your eyes open though because with cooler water temps we do see blackfins move to the beach.  We have been seeing some on the tidelines and around schools of bait inshore.  While bottom fishing the vermilion snappers "aka mingos snappers", white snappers, and flounder are our prime targeted species with majority of the other fish being closed season.  There are lots of amberjack, Redsnappers, and Triggerfish but don't forget they are closed for the rest of the year.  This is the time of the year that Flounder migrate to inshore gulf wrecks,  If you catch one there are usually plenty more around. 

If you are planing a trip to Destin, Florida this fall or winter, Destin Inshore Guides fishes year around so be sure to give us a call and let us take you out to catch your next memory of a lifetime. Till next time Tight Lines.

    Great news! The rental ban has been lifted and summer is here.  Fishing has been great over the past couple weeks and we are booking up fast.  Make sure to call asap to get on the books. Check out below what we have been catching.

    Here lately on our inshore bay fishing charters we have been catching a variety of species.  The redfish continue to be a target as these fish are a year around fishery for the Destin, Florida area.  We are catching there around structure as well as on grass flats.  The Spanish mackerel and bluefish bite has been red hot trolling artificial lures, casting jigs, and using live baits when we are able to find good sized ones.  With the fin baits starting to show up on the grass flats, the grass flats fishing is starting to happen with speckled trout, redfish, spanish mackerel, and bluefish mixed. 

    On our inshore gulf fishing charters the bite has been good as well.  While trolling we have been targeting king mackerel, spanish mackerel, and amberjacks.   Amberjacks are still in season untile June 1st.  While bottom fishing we are targeting a mix bag of  snappers including white snapper, mingo snapper, and mangrove snappers along with triggerfish and redsnappers. 

    Red snappers and trigger fish are out of season but still make for great time to perform "CPR" (Catch, Photograph, and Release)

    Summer break 2020 is here and we are happy to be fishing every day again.  Give us a call to get out fishing while visiting  Destin, Fl. this year.
