Fall is coming. The brown shrimp have come back in from their spawn.
Mullet are starting to gather in the creek mouths.
That being said, there are some large traps moving in very shallow top waters, like skid or walks or chug bugs. If it's grassy, work the chug bug like it's a walk, the dog.
Cut mullet cut in live. Pinfish are also getting the red fish.

The bottom fishing bite is some of the best. It's been all year.
We're getting red grouper, red snapper, and gag grouper, and even some very large mangrove snappers.
If you can find sardines, live cigar minnows, and live threadfin. Those are going to give you better-quality fish.
For gay groupers, it's hard to beat whole, one-pound-plus grunts, whole mulletheads, and large butterflied blue runners.
We're using eighty pound liter and eight or nine odd hooks, with the least amount of lead to get to the bottom.
Usually knocker rigs or Captain Chappy's hogballs. I put my own hooks on...

It's still hot out but the fish seem to not care too much if the tides right. As fall creeps in things will be on fire

The bottom fishing bite is very good. Most trips, we're getting are limit of red groupers, a handful of red snapper. and plentiful Gag grouper action. On days where the current is slow, live bates work well.

The red grouper bite is off the chain. You can get some anywhere from forty feet out to as deep as you want to go. The red snapper have been hidden. Most of the bigger keepers are in deep water one hundred to one hundred and forty feet deep. Down bigger baits equal bigger fish. The usual cut beats whether ladyfish or mullet, or bunker whichever you'd like to call them. Are working great!

Save your live beats for areas where there are good fish and remember everything eats squid!

The bottom Fishing has been good.
Look for bait stacks.
The usual frozen baits are the best thing to start with.
The when the bite starts to slow switch to live baits. Pinfish are working.
But live sardines and live cigar, minnows are working the best..

When the wind isn't blowing.
The offshore bait has been fair to good.
Find some shallower numbers in forty 52 fifty foot of water and start there.You'll get a few red grouper.Some big gags, you have to throw back and a few keeper red snapper.
So if you move out to 80 to a 100 foot, there are a few more reds grouper and snapper sardines cigar, minos. Thread, herring are all good baits.The fresher or liver, they are, the better they are.
With this full moon, the tide's running hard, so you'll need a few more ounces of lead...

    We loved fishing with Captain Dwayne. 2nd year we have been with him and he’s amazing, between finding the best place to catch and baiting our boys, we had the best time!

    Trip: Half Day Fishing Apalachicola

  • ★★★★★
    We were originally booked for a 7am trip but Brock let us know it would be better to wait a little later. We ended up going around 3. The weather was great. Brock put us on some red fish and my son also caught a sting ray. We ended up with several keepers and can't wait to fry them up!! Brock was so helpful to the ladies on baiting their hook and casting out for them. Can't wait to go again!!

    Our trip was great. Jared was top notch on everything. We will definitely book with him on our next trip here. Absolutely the best charter we have been on. We caught a lot of fish and plenty of keepers to take back for a great meal.

    Duane was amazing! My husband and Friend had such a great time. They really didn't know what to expect and how much fish they were going to catch, but their minds were blown! I think they caught over 15 fish! Dwayne was very knowledgeable about where to find the fish what kind they were the sizing, etc. They had a great time, great value for the money! Highly highly recommend using this service.

    Such a great family trip, Captain Tim and his crew were helpful, fun, and great anglers! They made sure we brought in a lot of fish and got to wrestle with some big ones!! Captain Tim knew all the good spots! Definitely want to book again!

    We had a blast with captain Allen, he got us on fish and had great knowledge of the bay. We caught some trout, redfish and my daughter caught a black tip shark, while we were fishing for bait. This was a great experience that we will remember for a long time. I highly recommend this charter and captain Allen, we will be booking again next year.

    Captain Dwayne put us on the fish for sure. The fish did not cooperate in the size category. Not from the lack of trying. If they were not biting he moved us to another location. We did get some keepers though. We also caught plenty close to the right size. It was an extremely successful trip!! We will next year seek out this Captain for our trip!! Thank you Catain Dwayne...
