Gulf of Mexico Fishing Reports

As soon as you know you are heading to Gulf Shores, book with Stressed Out Charters.

Fishing was great, just check to see what Saturday the fishing tournament in May is going to be on. Would have fished Saturday also, but did not want all the chaos from 400 boats fishing in the bay.

We came to Corpus Christi because my dad did his flight training at the NAS, but the quality of fishing completely blew us away. We did a full day charter and then fished on our own for two more days, and we had an absolute blast. Lots of different areas to fish and very good accessibility to public waters.

Make sure your guide is experienced and friendly. He took us out and did everything that we wanted to do. We went fishing, boating, looked for dolphins etc.

Go fishing with Keith Gregory’s Guide Service and you will have a great time because he knows some great spots to fish and you will have every opportunity to catch the Red fish.

Decide if you want to fish the Atlantic Ocean side but make sure it is a calm day or the Florida Bay/ mangrove side which is quieter with different kinds of fish like snook, mangrove snapper sea trout, redfish etc.

Absolutely well worth spending at least a half a day with Get Hooked Charters Captain Damien

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

Check into the local bait shops and find out the current trends and locations for the best fishing because it is always changing.

Fish are moving and feeding in the early spring. Be prepared to catch fish.

I would absolutely recommend angler fishing for the first time in Aransas Pass! It was my first time and I’m already planning another trip back in July. I’m from Florida originally and I felt like I was at home. Great place to go angler fishing for the first time.

Plenty of reef and inshore species to target. Don’t expect a deep water pelagic experience. The shelf here doesn’t get to blue water until many miles offshore.

A little more discussion on where/how far out we are going and what fish we are targeting.

This was my first time fishing in Sarasota so I don't have a good basis for rating the experience. he weather was a bit tough the day we went so that may have affected fishing conditions

Dress for the weather. Waters may be rough so if you're prone to getting sick, take something prior.

Red snapper is out of season at this time of year, which is what we caught the most of.

Dress appropriately. In the morning, it's a bit chilly so bring a sweatshirt or sweater.

Highly recommend they go see Greg & Brett. They’ll make their day a true adventure.

Enjoyed the private charter more than the party boats. Cost is more but worth the price.

Bring a jacket if you are fishing in the am , gets cold early morning , warms up nicely mid morning
