Fresh Callaway Fishing Reports

Trigger and snapper stacked tight Slow morning, strong afternoon bite

End-of-year weather surprise. Vermilion snapper and triggerfish Grouper mixed in Strong way to close out the year.

Wind and cold ruled the Gulf out. Sheephead and Red drum Steady action around docks and bridges Great call staying inside.

We wrapped up a productive 6-hour Gulf trip with great conditions and steady action throughout the day. Seas were cooperative, and the bite stayed consistent once we got set up on the structure. We focused on nearshore to light offshore bottom fishing, putting clients on a solid mix of snapper and grouper, with a few bonus fish mixed in. The fish were holding tight, and once we dialed in the depth, it was rod-bending action. The crew stayed busy, everyone got tight lines, and the box filled up nicely. Always great seeing smiles and bent rods from start to finish—exactly what a 6-hour trip is all about. Winter fishing is shaping up strong, and these trips continue to be a great option for anglers looking to catch quality fish without committing to a full day offshore.

Rare calm December window. Grouper on ledges Snapper biting best midday Excellent winter offshore fishing.

Rougher seas offshore. Spanish mackerel thick near the beach Bonito providing nonstop action Perfect nearshore conditions.
