Background
Capt. Donny runs trips out of Apalachicola aboard a 23’ Epic bay boat. These waters are known for Cobia, Flounder, and Redfish and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling, popping, or spearfishing. With excellent knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
Techniques
Chumming with live and cut bait for cobia, snapper, and sight fishing tripletail.
