Inshore Fishing along Florida's Forgotten Coast

Although reds and trout are around all year long, we typically break it into a Fall and Spring season. Our Fall Redfishing gets good around mid-September and runs through January. The tide tables during this time of year turn from big lows in the evenings to the middle part of the day; this equates to shrimp being exposed and flushed out of the tidal marshes on the surrounding mud flats. When conditions are right, we also chase bull reds along the beach. As Spring starts to roll in and the water temps rise, it is exciting to see the bait come in from the gulf and bring the bays to life. This is always a good time of year to take a break from the beach and get some fishing in.

Apalachicola tarpon fishing happens during the warmer months of the year when the annual migration takes place. Our season normally begins in May and ends in August, although each year we have the potential to see some early and/or late fish in the area. Our tarpon typically run between 60-100 lbs and are found in every scenario from a single fish to pods of 50 or more. We fish them over white sandy beaches or over broken bottom grass flats, and may drive 100+ miles in one day to sight fish them, depending on conditions and where the fish are. This is an exciting, challenging fish to catch but the sight of jumping your first tarpon is a lifetime reward.
