While the weather can get a bit chilly, the fishing gets hot! Head offshore and go after Snapper, or stay inshore and explore the bays for your fill of nice Redfish and Trout to take home for dinner.

It’s still not warm enough for those pelagics to make their appearance, but there’s a variety of other options in the bays and on the reefs. You can do some prolific fishing and catch Trout, Redfish, Snapper, and Amberjack.

As the weather begins to warm up, the angling gets a lot more interesting. The fishing season is just about to start, with great numbers of Cobia coming up to the reefs. Casting in the bay remains strong.

This is when the real fun begins! In April you’ll see Cobia fishing reaching its peak, and anglers from all over the world start coming to the area for their chance to land that monster trophy fish.

Marking the beginning of the offshore season, this is a great time to visit if you’re looking for great action further from shore. You can try trolling for some of the pelagic species that swim through the area, or bottom fish for Grouper.

This is the best time to visit to have a full Florida getaway. Marking the start of the holiday season, fishing in June is especially productive, with a variety of pelagics to be caught offshore, and with the inshore bite as hot as ever.

With the temperatures rising and the summer in full swing, you’ll want to head out offshore and try to reel in a big Red Snapper. Inshore, you’ll find the Tarpon bite to be hot during the high season.

As the high season continues, heading to the deep waters will provide you with great chances of breaking some records. You’ll find all the prized pelagics, with the reefs and shallow waters equally productive.

This is when the crowds start to die down, but the fishing isn’t going anywhere. It’s still warm, and it’s a great time to be out on the water, with species like Tuna and Sailfish coming pretty close to shore.

While the temperatures slowly start to go down, you’ll find the visiting in October is just as fun as in the summer. And with the Destin Fishing Rodeo happening next door, you can test your skills and try to get a nice prize.

Marking the end of the pelagic season, November is your chance to get that last bite. Fishing in the bay, as well as bottom fishing the reefs is still hot, so come out and fill your freezer in preparation for the holidays!

This is when the temperature drops a bit, but you’ll still have a nice time on the Florida coast. Spend your day visiting the reefs and trying out some bottom fishing – you’re sure to catch a nice dinner!
