Well it's the end of September and fishing has been outstanding. There is a variety of species still being caught offshore. Snappers, triggerfish, Mackeral, and Mahi are still actively chasing baits. Stopping to sabiki for live sardines and cigar minnows has been effective for targeting those offshore species. We can expect as the waters continue to cool down to see a slower bite as those big fish move further out. Therefore, bouncing around from spot to spot seems to be the key to pick up those big ones still lurking around.
Inshore, the mangrove snapper and sharks are still plentiful on the bridges in the bays and any structure you can find. The big bull reds are starting to push inshore and we look forward to targeting those big schools as we progress into October and November.
There is still plenty of fish to be caught so don't put up those rods yet and let's get out there for some great fall saltwater action.

Gulf-
the main target species all summer are red snappers, season is open till the end of July 31. Destin is known for the red snapper season along with red snappers we are catching bigger mangrove snapper's, Key West porgies chocolate porgies and vermilion snapper's along with King Mackeral trolling around bait balls
Bowfishing- this is my favorite time of the year to Bowfish lots of activity at night on the flats, plenty of fish and rays to shoot out

    Trip: 4-8 hr Offshore Fishing (Federal)

    Captain Colby was an absolute pleasure to fish with. He was waiting on us to arrive-, very personable and put us directly on the fish. Captain Colby took the time to assist my daughters while my wife and I fished, everyone had multiple landings. I have fished on the West, East and Gulf coasts and I would recommend him without hesitation. Fantastic Trip, thank you very much!
