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 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.

This Cold weather snap has the billfish spun up, 300lb blue was tagged and landed a sail , the trolling has produced Bonita and king mackerel! We are at the end of our season so we are slowing down but still plenty of Reef fish to catch before the gulf...

    Trip: Adrenaline-Pumping PCB Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing time out on the water. Jon was an outstanding guide. He was friendly, patient, and great with kids. He made sure we were comfortable from the start and gave clear instructions that made the experience enjoyable and easy to follow. This was our first charter trip and it could not have gone better. My 10-year-old son Isaac had a blast and has not stopped talking about it since. He even caught a few fish and was so proud of himself. Jon made the day fun and memorable for both of us. We would definitely recommend Jon to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-run fishing trip with a great guide. Thank you again Jon. Ten out of ten

    Trip: 2-Hour Kids Trip - 26’ Pathfinder

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Keith’s knowledge of the local flora and fauna exemplifies a true Florida waterman. We felt at home and comfy on his vessel and enjoyed the liquids of both the bay, and cooler. A few fish iced the cake of an already memorable trip, while the storied adventure was the real treat. We’ll be back.
