Fall Fishing Fun

12/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Fall is here and mother nature has blessed us with beautiful weather lately.  This time of the year, we tend to get more weather days with fronts being more common.   We had awesome weather for Thanksgiving week and got several clients out on the water.  With water temps cooling off from the summer heat fishing starts to fire up.  Fishing changes daily this time of the year with all the transitions with the different species.  The flounder migrate to the gulf to spawn and the trout start heading towards the river for their spawning. 

In the bay with the cooling water temps the trout have showed back up in full force.  We are still catching an occasional straggler flounder in the bay but most of them are coming from inshore wrecks in the gulfs.  As for the redfish, we are catching an occaional redfish in the mix with trout fishing and these fish tend to be the smaller slot sized fish, but the big bull reds are starting to feed on the baitfish in open water.  To find these fish with look for the birds working schools of baitfish either in the bay or along the beach in the gulf.   You cant always count on finding them this way but when you do its a sight you will never forget.  Check out some recent pictures below and as always we are always ready to go fishing no matter what time of the year it is.  There is always something to go catch in Destin, Fl.

    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.
