Spring is coming soon, and love is in the air. Or the water. These sheep's heads are moving out to the oyster bars. And then to fifteen to thirty feet of water.
Best beats are fiddler, crabs, small shrimp sand flees and brined claws.
I prefer to use a fish finder rig with number 1 or 1/0 hooks and the bare minimum wait to hold it down.
If you see a bunch of fish come to the surface, the bite should be shortly after.
Also our shrouders are starting to move out to the mouths of the creeks and on...

Also our shrouders are starting to move out to the mouths of the creeks and on
to the shallow flats.
Soft plastics on appropriately weighted jig heads work. The best, but a shrimp-tipped jig head will catch them, and you'll also get flounder and black drum...
If you'd like to see this firsthand book a trip.

With the cold cold temps. We're using live shrimp on on a jig head or a carolina rigg crawling them across the bottom, painfully slow.
Also, soft plastics on jigheads are catching large over slot trout and the occasional red fish

When the weather is warm, the trout and redfish are on the bars.Just outside of the mouth of the river, or in the mouths of deep creeks. My preferred method is shrimp on a jighead.
We're soft plastics call jighead.
We're also getting bonus sheepshead black drum and flounder.
Offshore, we have one more weekend of red. Snapper, open until june.The bite has been decent.
Live sardines and thread, fin herring work best, but frozen will get the job done.

Merry christmas!

The big trout are leaving the creeks and fattening up for the spawn. Lots of things work pinfish, mud minnows, shrimp. But the go to is a eighth ounce jig head red or pink works best with a soft plastic in is gold and glow, golden brim or watermelon regulator. Is work those in deeper troughs and creeks mouths.

Exciting time here along the forgotten coast. There's chrome in the water. In the last week, things have really turned around. Our weather patterns have gotten their act together, the water has warmed up and the early season tarpon are showing up. We are getting them dialed in and launching silver king rockets every chance we can. Fishing tarpon around the correct tide allows for some fun days fishing redfish then changing gears and chasing tarpon.

The weather is starting to break here on the Forgotten Coast. Just in time for spring break, redfish are invading the flats, and oh boy, are they hungry? Fish have been seen cruising the outside bars and chasing the tide up to the shoreline. A well-placed fly, soft plastic, or gold spoon has been getting the job done. Take a trip south to Apalachicola and let me introduce you to our hot inshore fishery.

    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!!

    Allen was a fantastic guide! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day of fishing. He was very accommodating and eager to help our family of five. We will certainly be back!

    Trip: Apalachicola Bay Fishing Trip

    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.

    Trip: Apalachicola Inshore/Bay Trip

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    We had a blast with Captain Carl. We caught plenty of fish. But having a captain that will enjoy the trip as much as the custom is priceless

    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.

    Trip: Bay & Flats Inshore Fishing Charter

  • ★★★★★
    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...
