Mary Esther Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Mary Esther
Waters have warmed back up and a variety of fish are slipping out to bite the hooks again.Few flounders not far from shore in the Gulf are still giving it up. Tasty bright red vermillion snappers are being caught as well, when the seas lay down here and there.

The bite has been slow this week, between finding a good weather day to go and finding people that are brave enough to withstand the waves! The Bonita are thick as usual, the blackfin tuna have moved in closer to shore within 5 miles! The squid is thick and the tuna are right behind them! Plenty of small reef fish being caught and vermillion snapper! But not a lot of fish in season at the moment! Trigger are fun to catch even though we have to release them!

Fishing is always more difficult with the weather in the winter, so if you’re looking for a constant bite we recommend spring but with that being said the tuna bite is really good so to each their own! We fish year round
Trolling- plenty of Bonita around, blackfin Tuna are close in right now between 5-15 miles of the pass! Mahi can be found further offshore on weedlines! King mackerel are a hard bite this time of year but can be found near shore
Bottom Fishing- Vermillions are in abundance right now and have some decent size to them too,...

Bottom Fishing- Vermillions are in abundance right now and have some decent size to them too, triggerfish are on structure but finding a keeper may be another task! Plenty of perch and Ruby lips running around so if a fish fry is what you’re after then that will be too easy to get! Grouper bite is good right now as well as Almaco Jacks

Still a real good vermillion snapper bite. Red Grouper opened back up so if we catch one we won’t have to throw it back. Triggerfish closed but there are still alot around and alot of fun to catch. Fishing is good!

Late season redfish have been in our passes still!

The bite here lately has been on fire from speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, mangrove snappers and more. We've got a big cold front coming that should move even more sheepshead in.

Vermilion snapper bite is still strong. Triggers still in season until 31st December. Catching some Almaco jacks, and of course red snapper are everywhere. We are still running charters until we dry dock for a week or two in January. 6 and 8 hr trips are producing catches of keeper fish. Although the 4 and 5 hr trips are producing lots of fun fish to catch, not as many keepers.
