We caught some great fish red grouper, gag grouper, amber jack, red snapper, trigger and Mingo. Not all were in season so took pictures and released safely. Also could you add us to okaloosa island, fort Walton beach and destin area for search locations.

The water offshore has been cold. A few dolphins and kings are around. Sailfish are on the edge. They have been in large schools; keep a bait in the water after you hook up and go for two. Fishing is good when the conditions allow for it. April is typically a good month; we have a few openings.

Redfish bite is hot, sheephead is still strong but size is going down as the water temps warm up. This brings on the snapper bite. Magic # is 72 degrees for the snappers. Sharks have invaded the shallows, where they range from 2 to 4 '. Baits of choice have been shrimp, mud minnows and live finger mullet of you can find them.

With warming water temperatures and steady tides, the redfish are in full feeding mode. Early mornings have been prime for topwater action, with Reds crushing Zara Spooks and MirrOlure Top Dogs over shallow flats. As the sun gets higher, we’ve been switching to paddle tails in gold, root beer, and new penny, rigged on 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigheads for sight-casting fish cruising the oyster bars and creek mouths.

Offshore trips have been great. Less fish on the 4-hour trips and more fish on the 6-8-hour trips.
