What anglers said about fishing in Apalachicola Bay

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!

Water was cold… lots of cold fish in the Gulf. It was a great day overall.

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.

Definitely. Go earlier in the season if you want a lot of scallops. But if you just enjoy the hunt September is a good time to go

According to our captain, the toughest months are June July and August. He helped us catch fish but recommended a different time of year.

Wear lots of sunscreen and try to cover up, especially if you're going to be out on the water for a long period of time. Chapstick is your friend.

Capt Tim did everything he could control. The water was 89 degrees in the bay and the weather prevented us from going further out.

Start checking the weather as far ahead as you can. Even though our trip wasn't the most ideal weather, sometimes you have to take a chance, and this time it paid off (mostly due to Capt. Charles).
