What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Apalachicola, Florida for the first time?

Marcus is a fantastic captain. He knows where the fish are going to be and we caught an incredible variety of species. It was a fun, relaxing and productive fishing experience just as we had hoped. We laughed at how many different types of fish we were catching. It was quite surprising.

Be ready to catch fish, be ready to reel fast. If you don't the sharks will eat your catch and you will loose your line . By the time we were done we were exhausted from all the catching we did. We did a 6hr trip about 45 min off shore.. We will go back this time of year again.

Due to unstable spring weather in this area ie: high winds, stained bay waters I highly recommend choosing an off shore charter ( greater than 9 miles out) for clear blue off shore waters to fish in. From June until the end of regulation season Snapper and Grouper fishing can't be beat!

Book an inshore trip with someone like captain Ron or try light tackle woth shrimp or sand fleas along the beach shoreline.

When we talked to the Capt, he mentioned that this time of the year is a 50/50 chance. The water didn't get warm enough for the fish to start to flow. But it was nice for my first time.

Such a special place to fish. Amazing variety of waterways leads to a lot of opportunities.

Be prepared for quick weather changes and a wide variety of fish species biting

In October you never know what the weather will be like. But, there's no place I'd rather fish!!
