Inshore…. Early April fishing is typically on and off. One day the fish are taking the rod from you, the very next day slow to bite with a barometric change. The entire Apalachicola and Port St. Joe bays are swimming with bait, so we expect the fishing will be RED HOT any day now. The terrible news is that the catfish are back in full swing too because of the recent rise in water temperatures and influx of bait fish.
Anyone that was fortunate enough to fish with us in the past when the spring fishing was on; knows exactly what we are talking about. Be ready guys, It's getting "Very Fishy" around here!
Offshore.... We have been offshore fishing several times in the past month and in general the fishing has been excellent in action, but hard to get away from the red snapper. Red Snapper season opens for state waters April 15th and Federal waters April 22nd. We are anxiously awaiting the opening of the red snapper season and pray that they (snapper) haven't been reading the news of their impending fate. Now for grouper, triggerfish and rest of those bottom dwellers we so love to catch, it's been pretty good too. Grouper when you're able to get through the wall of red snapper to the bottom have been biting well.
Snapper season opens in state waters on April 15th and several of my boats are already booked for the week following that. I have a few boats still open, so call early to insure that you will be in on the first few days of snapper season opening or our wonderful inshore fishing for speckled trout, spanish mackerel, redfish, tripletail and a never ending list of fish species entering our bay waters daily.
We have had a boat load of calls and emails for snapper season opening as well as people checking available dates during their vacation, but we are not completely booked as of yet. That has a tendency to change as the word gets out about our excellent inshore and offshore fishing during this time of year. Don't be the one setting on the dock waiting for a boat to come in or franticly calling around looking for just any captain on a days notice. Make your fishing arrangements early by contacting us via website www.BookMeACharter.com or phone 850-653-2622 to insure you will have your preferred captain available to you during your vacation.
If you're looking for experienced, family friendly, native guides give us a call 850-653-2622 or drop us an email info@BookMeACharter.com
We'd love to take you fishing in our back yard!
