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.

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.

Great day on the water with capt. Carl. Lot of speckled trout to start the day. Then a flounder, couple of reds and a black drum. Saw some dolphins on the way out. Capt Carl was great to fish with. Highly recommend

TJ was as knowledgeable as any guide, he was talented at his craft and worked hard. He also was clear in his instructions and put me in the best position for my casting ability. TJ also spent time instructing my fishing partner. He was a great conversationalist and was a pleasure to spend the day with. I will definitely schedule more trips with TJ.

Captain Krista was great to travel around the ocean with. She knew exactly where to go to find the fish. She was great with the kids and taught them exactly how to fish. We got a little sea sick during so we made a detour and found some amazing shells and got to see so many dolphins. Definitely a trip to remember! Can't wait to come back and do it again.

Trip: Half day Fishing Apalachicola
★★★★★
Started out as a beautiful day, then the wind picked up out of the East, this was not what the weatherman forecast. Greg took us to many places to fish, but with the wind it was a challenge. We caught a few junk fish then one of us caught a really nice Red. That was the best of the day. We all (3) had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the area. At the end of the day Capt. Greg was like family and we all decided to make this a yearly thing with Capt Greg, hopefully the fish and the weather will cooperate.

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
