Gulf fishing-
Gag grouper will close at the end of the month.
Nice to get one in before then because as I've heard they will most likely not open back up next year or at least in April of next spring.
Flounders are unfolding into fish boxes, but plenty around still.
Scamp grouper and smaller tasty bottom fish still bitting and will be.
Bay-
Redfish, trout, some Spanish still lurking, big giant 40 lb black drum for fun fight, and pompano being the highlight.

The trout bite has decided picked up over the last few weeks. Still a good amount of slot reds running the flats as well. Spanish bite was good but definitely started to slow down. Founder opens back up today so we will start targeting them the next couple months

This year the redfish bite has been exceptional! The first Week I actually missed here in Pensacola because I was in Port Aransas, Tx. Fishing the B.A.S.S Master Redfish Championship where I was paired with Scott Martin. Since returning home the bite has non stop!

Almacos have been biting as well as snapper and triggerfish! Water temp is 68 and very rough here lately! 5 to 6s in the mornings at 3 seconds! We missed a blackfin Saturday but caught 5 Bonita

Managed to venture out a couple times within the past two weeks. This past Tuesday, the bite was hot... caught fish on everything we threw.... popping corks and Carolina rigs tipped with live shrimp, plus artificial lures. They’re still biting good... little warm front has then fired up!

Not a redfish but a super cool sail we caught the other day

30a offshore.
We have wrapped up the October fall snapper dates. We continue to find quality fish despite the high winds and big seas. Everything from big red snapper, scamp grouper, big trash can lid triggerfish, bull vermillion, even rainbow runners.
The cold front that has came through has sparked off the kings also. Still waiting for the big run of the fall blackfin tuna.
30a inshore.
We are seeing the bull redfish still pretty consistently. Some days are better than others but they're still around. We are catching slots around docks and some of the drop offs. Flats in...

We are seeing the bull redfish still pretty consistently. Some days are better than others but they're still around. We are catching slots around docks and some of the drop offs. Flats in the morning for them and later in the evening. Still catching a few trout also. Hopefully in the next few weeks the sheepshead bite will pick up for us here in the Choctawhatchee.
