It's time to start herding sheepshead. We look for them on structure in 25 yo 50 feet of water. A Crustacean of your choice, With a enough lead to hold it down and a small hook. I prefer eagle claw Style 85, they are good and sharp right out of the package and cheap, easy enough to cut off and retire. Moose has a very respectable fish

With the temperature fluctuating so much the fish like to find deeper holes, many different baits are working. Jigheads are the best, I prefer soft plastics like the saltwater assassin, as far as color I can't nail one down. Shrimp also work well, 1/4 Jighead moved painfully slow. We have a wide open calendar.

Trout are on fire. Edges of holes,channels edges and any place where the water temperatures are stable. It is hard to beat your favorite soft plastics on a jig head. If the bite slows add a popping cork.

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!

Happy Thanksgiving. As we celebrate the bounty of the fall, the weather is turning colder. The response by mother nature is to add a layer of fat. So the bite is on fire, the places are deeper holes and channel edges with decent flow. My favorite baits this time of year are soft plastics on a jighead or shrimp on a jighead. We have plenty of dates available, if weather permits red snapper are in fairly close.

It's fall and pumpkins are everywhere, by pumpkins I mean redfish. Early in the The fall season while the water still warm live baits work best as the water cools cut baits rule. Also , as the water cools red snapper Move closer to shore, locals LY's . I prefer live and fresh dead Sardines. And threadfin.

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.

The bottom fishing continues to be good although you have to watch your weather windows.
Again, thread hearing sardines on a knocker, rig. L y's or live baits have been working really well.
Don't forget scallop season starts Monday.July firsthere's no better way to cool off than to dip into the gulf and pick up some sea Sweets

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!
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!
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.
Brian, was great guide. Knew his business and worked extra hard to get on fish. Had fun, caught a good number of tripletail but didn't get any keepers today
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...
