Big Lagoon State Park Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Big Lagoon State Park
This year has been an incredibly tough fishing year for red snapper. The water temps were what they typically are in August by the 1st of July. The marks are all there on the fishfinder. The fish got smarter, faster this year as their appetites were reduced by the temperature increase. We've also had more issues with sharks and dolphins eating our fish and bait off the hooks. We had to switch gears, work harder and try different methods to outsmart the fish. The deeper water fish were still biting well, but with the increase of fuel prices, going out...

For the last several weeks the red snapper bite has been steady but not as good as it was earlier. We have been catching limits of snapper but you have to work thru smaller fish to get them. The offshore mangrove snapper fishing has been great all year and continues to be good. Cobia have been good as well with plenty of legal fish coming in. When the water is clean Wahoo are being caught closer to shore. Also grouper are still steady but you have to go deep to be consistent.

I don't have a lot to talk up.
The snapper bite has been a tough one this year. Not sure if it's because water temps have been extremely high or the storm activity. However, we are catching some small snapper on the nearshore reefs and picking off a few big ones here and there. The trigger fish have been plentiful and the vermillion and mangrove bite has been pretty steady. There are still plenty of fun fish to catch on the troll, the skipjack, triple tail and a few peanut Mahi are hanging around floating debris if you find any...

The snapper bite has been a little off kilter this season. However, if you put in the work there are still some monsters swimming around out there. The vermillion bite is still very solid. However, if you can get them to the boat before the dolphins snatch them off your line your doing good. The deep troll offshore from the edge outward has really been on fire lately. A lot of great catches being reported of Mahi, Wahoo, and some monster Cobia.

Snapper season is in full swing. There are lots of opportunities for the offshore bite to include mixed bags of Mangroves, vermillion, and of course those reds. Slow trolling live cigars or sardines is starting to produce some awesome king Mackerel catches. We are looking forward to July when those Amberjacks and triggers come back into play
