Apalachicola Bay Fishing Reports

Excellent fishing out of Carrabelle at this time if you are looking for red snapper and/or gag grouper.

Had a great day but we had to throw back some snapper because they were not in season

Get a guide who knows the area as there are a lot of different locations to fish.

Weather was very cold which made fishing conditions less than ideal but we were able to catch plenty of fish anyways.

Tell the captain what you are looking for and want to catch. Captain Andy put us on the fish we was looking for.

If you're fishing in Carrabelle in June, plan for hot sunny days. Be sure to pack plenty of water to rehydrate and lots of sunscreen.

Be ready for anything. When the water is clear you must use a fluorocarbon leader if you want to catch anything.

Hydrate for several days before your trip. Enjoy the many varieties of fish available.

Get a guide. The water is too similar and wide open to know where fish hold

Book at least an 8 hour trip and understand that Captains are not Jesus, they can't just speak to the fish and make them jump in the boat! It is called "Fishing" not "Catching" for a reason!

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!

If it's your first time definitely go with Gritwater Outfitters. They are so helpful if you don't know exactly what you are doing.

Come on and find the fun for yourself. You won't regret it! Worth every penny!

Check the weather forecast, you may need to layer your clothing...Don't forget your sunscreen and a hat...Bring one cooler for the boat with snacks and drinks...Make sure you remember one cooler in your vehicle for your catch of the day...

The only thing I would recommend is to hire Captain Scooter if you want to catch fish!

Get out early and beat the heat. Be patient. Plenty of water in tow and be ready to get wet. Fun trip.

Go with someone like Captain Charles who will switch up tackle and spots to get what is biting.

Fishing is excellent, but weather is unpredictable. So bring your raincoat along with your fishing pole.
