Apalachicola fishing is heating up as the weather turns cold. Redfish are haunting the creeks and flats, foraging on everything they can find to eat. Soft plastics and flies make excellent offerings this time of year. Off the beaches Bull redfish are starting to invade the shoals and inshore sandbars, chasing schools of baitfish and shrimp. Poppers and topwaters have been getting smashed with explosive frequency. All in all, if you can brave the cold, the fishing is quite hot!

Fall time along the Forgotten Coast makes for some unforgettable outdoor experiences! Gator hunts have been doing very well! 24 gators harvested so far this season with largest being 10'6". Scalloping in St Joe Bay has produced very good harvests however finding them in the turtle grass has been somewhat difficult, season ends September 24th. Nighttime flounder gigging has been on fire with plenty of other species also filling up the coolers like large sheepshead, mullet, & black drum. Redfish starting to heat up with cooler water temps arriving. Live shrimp on jigheads & Carolina rigs have been producing best.

Amazing day out on the water with captain Greg. Not often you get to fill up the freezer with silver trout AND catch a couple monster redfish. Will be booking with him again next time we go out

Greg was a terrific guide and put us on lots of fish (over 100 trout). Although it was an older boat it was spacious and large enough to make the fishing very enjoyable. His experience and patience was outstanding.

Met Captain Greg at 7am and had a good trip. He is native to the area and knows the water well. We decided to concentrate on white trout and caught about 50. He was very courteous and professional and I enjoyed fishing with him.
