Fresh Fishing Reports from Apalachicola Bay

Fall is upon us!

September 19, 2023

The summer heat is finally taking a step back, and the water temps are dropping! This time of year always gets me excited. The fish are transitioning from their summer patterns to their fall patterns, making them more hungry and way more active! Trout and Redfish are showing up in 2-3 feet of water in the grass and sand patches, but are still hanging near channels. As the water drops, they will make their way over the grass and stay there until mid-late fall. This is one of the best times of the year to fish and certainly one of the most exciting! The cool morning air makes for some very comfortable fishing time, and a much more enjoyable experience. The bite is much more productive and easier. Trout and Redfish are hitting artificial lures just as well as live bait, but one or the other can be more productive some days. Book your trip now for some exiting fishing! Thank you!

Be prepared to be hot unless you fish early or late. And the weather can change quickly.

If you're prepared for sun and heat, you'll be fine, as the fish are still there and active.

Pack lots of sunscreen and water. If your not a hardcore angler the more comfortable you are out on the water the easier it is to stay out there and find the fish.

Give Tideline Charters a call! Wayne Cook was great. Early morning fishing when the weather is clear and the water calm is your best bet. Or right after a rain!

Don’t set your expectations too high. At the end of the day fishing is fishing. A good Captain will do his best and the rest is up to the fish. Sometimes they just won’t bite and other times it’s game on

There’s salt water catfish that are venomous, so watch out if you catch one. Otherwise you’ll have the opportunity to catch everything the Gulph has to offer!

Bring a lightweight jacket and pick a good captain. Season isn’t open to many types of fish. We had to throw many back that was out of season. Mangroves we’re plentiful. Couple red grouper.

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.
