October is a beautiful time to be out on the water here in the panhandle. The inshore bite is definitely awesome this time a year. You can pick off a lot of variety by pounding the banks with live shrimp, plastics, and twitch baits. Deep dropping or trolling offshore is still going strong. Just pick the right day to get out there as these northern winds start blowing pretty steady.

The fishing here has been pretty steady this past month. Redfish, black snapper, flounder, trout and mackerel have been plentiful. Offshore fishing has been great whenever we can get out there!

The spanish mackerel , jack crevalle, and mangrove snapper have been caught inshore and a slight cool front just cooled the Temps down for us. We've caught big amberjack, mingos and Spanish mackerel offshore as well!

    Tough trip this morning. Got on a few big trout early, but tough fishing. Mitch was an absolute excellent captain. Took great care of our crew. We really enjoyed the day with him and look forward to another trip.

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Guide Service

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. James went above and beyond to make our trip the most memorable first trip for our 8 yr old granddaughter. Him and his first mate answer the 1000 questions every 8 yr old asked with a smile on there face . We caught plenty of fish and took time to take all the pictures with the dolphins . The catamaran style boat is smooth in the water helping to make this first experience a great memory.
