What anglers said about fishing in Apalachicola Bay

Late July heat is never an easy experience to catch lots and lots of fish but we definitely did catch fish and had fun doing it! The right captain matters!

We caught some fish but only one keeper. It did rain pretty hard for the first hour that we were supposed to be fishing so that may have played a factor in the lack of bites we saw.

It’s a little harder to find the bite when the water is 90 degrees. But that’s July fishing for you. Got to have patience.

Don’t feel like you have to fish in the deep waters to catch big fish and don’t be afraid to fish in the river part. That’s where we caught the most variety of fish.

Summer time can be very hard to find the bite inshore but when you do it’s bountiful

It can be a little hot at the end of June, coming into July. There is no shade, so wear the appropriate clothes and sunscreen. Maybe bring a handheld fan. But he took us swimming and it was a fun time.

Absolutely. Once the temp and barometric pressure dropped, we hit a school of fish. We caught 7 different species.

This time of year it is impossible to not catch fish. Great area for inshore and offshore fishing.

If you go fishing in St Port Joe, go with Kokomo Charters! Captain Charles put us on fish faster than any charter I have been on.

Highly recommend that you book a charter. The Captains have tons of knowledge and are networked with all the other Captains so they have real time updates on what fish are biting and where.

It can be hit and miss because of the water temperatures and weather, but Apalachicola is a great place to fish!

Fishing is unpredictable, in general. I've been on many charters & this one is high on the list. Considering the time of year & water temperature, it definitely exceeded expectations. From my perspective, all credit is due to the Captain, and a good bit of luck, that we had such an exceptional day of fishing. Fantastic!

Maybe go in the summer. We lucked out with weather, but it would have been nice to be able to keep some red snapper and gag grouper. I am highly susceptible to sea-sickness, but I wore a patch behind my ear, which works great! BTW... we also caught a Lane snapper a flounder and a trigger fish!

While we caught more fish than we expected, not all were keepers. Just remember that the Captain is doing his best to put you on the fish but can't guarantee that you will catch big fish (or any fish at all). Also keep in mind that the time of year we went (in October) many fish are not in season, so we only went after fish species we could catch and eat.

For us mid September weather was perfect! It was warm outside and the water was pleasantly refreshing but not too cold!
