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

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!

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.

The bite has still been good in October. We have the weekends open for red snapper but it has been hard to catch some of the bigger ones closer to shore. We have been catching other species though. Wahoo and blackfin tuna are supposed to venture in closer to shore this time of year. A few wahoo have been caught by some of my friends just 5-15 miles from the shore.
The Destin rodeo is going on through October and many fish have been caught including a giant 300 lb Warsaw grouper!

Large schools of bull redfish are starting to
gather in the back bay areas. We came up on a school of bull reds crashing the top water and hooked into a 20 pound redfish the other day.

The fishing has been a little slow for us but today it turned on hard. We had trout, gaff top, lady fish, bull reds and more keeping us on our toes. Used live bait and artificial. Today's bite was just awesome, here are a few pics.

    We had 6 of us that did a 4 hr charter w/Captain Marvin on July 7th, only one of us knew how to fish and we all end up catching up plenty of fish. Captain Marvin was very patient with us, baited and casted all our rods. He was a great guide and we would use him again in the future
