Destin, Florida Inshore Bay and Gulf  Fishing Report

7/22/2018

0 Comments

 
Wow, this heat is getting hot.  You can definitely tell its summer with the humidity in the early mornings and the hot afternoons.  We have very limited availability the remaining of the summer to be sure to call asap if your planing on going fishing. 

On our Inshore bay fishing charters the bite has been good.  We have been targeting mangrove snappers heavily as they are one of the best eating fishing both in the bay and the gulf.  Along with the mangrove snappers the next main species that we are targeting are redfish.  We are catch all ranges of redfish here lately from rat reds, to slot reds to bring home to diner as  well as big trophy sized bull reds.  If you are wanting to target bull reds we are booking these type trips based on the out going tide. As for the the grass flats they are still holding good amounts of bait bringing a variety of fish to the flats including skipjacks, spanish mackerel, bluefish, and some trout. 

Out in the gulf on our near shore gulf charters we are targeting spanish mackerel, king mackerels, and bonitas while trolling.  The shark fishing continues to be good with  blacktips and spinners sharks on light tackle on the beaches as well as a variety of bigger sharks on the reefs.  Red snapper season has come to an end for 2018 so they will be added to the list of species to catch and release.  While bottom fishing we are also targeting trigger fish, vermilion snappers "aka mingos snappers" and white snappers.  Along with the redsnapper amberjack and triggerfish are both out of season but we are catching them for great catch and release photos.   Don't forget amberjacks do open back up on August 1st. 

Give us a call to book your next family fishing adventure while visiting the Destin, Florida area this summer.

    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.
