What to Expect on the Water

Alright, here's the deal: we're talking about a full day of non-stop fishing action. We'll kick things off early, loading up the boat with all the gear you need. Once we're out, we'll hit up some of Carrabelle's honey holes - spots where the big ones like to hang out. You'll be using top-notch equipment, and our guides will be right there to help you fine-tune your technique. Whether you're after the elusive redfish or aiming to fill the cooler with tasty sea trout, we've got you covered. And hey, with a six-person max, there's plenty of room to cast without tangling lines. Just remember, we don't provide meals, so pack a lunch and stay fueled for the fight!

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

Listen up, because this is where it gets good. In Carrabelle, we mix it up depending on what's biting. We might start with some light tackle jigging for sea trout around the grass flats. Then, when the tide's right, we'll switch to sight fishing for redfish - that's when you'll really get your heart pumping. For the tripletail, we'll cruise along floating debris, looking for those lazy giants sunning themselves. And if the bite is slow inshore, we can always run out a bit and drop some live bait for snapper and sea bass. Our guides are pros at reading the water and knowing which technique will work best on any given day. Trust me, by the end of the day, you'll have tried methods you never even knew existed!

Top Catches This Season

Man, the fishing's been on fire lately! We've had folks pulling in bull redfish that'll make your arms sore, and sea trout so big you'd swear they were small stripers. Just last week, a group nailed a 30-inch gator trout that had everyone on board hollering. And don't get me started on the tripletail - we found a honey hole where these odd-looking bruisers were stacked up like pancakes. The snappers have been showing up in force too, with some real beauties coming over the rails. It's been the kind of fishing that keeps you coming back for more, day after day.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Black Sea Bass: These little powerhouses are a blast to catch and even better to eat. They hang around structure and put up a great fight for their size. We typically find them in 60-120 feet of water, and they're suckers for cut bait or squid. The best part? They're available year-round, so you've always got a shot at filling the cooler with these tasty buggers.

Grey Snapper: Also known as mangrove snapper, these guys are the bread and butter of Carrabelle fishing. They're crafty and quick, so you've got to be on your toes. We target them around reefs and wrecks, using light tackle and live bait. The bite is often best during the summer months, and when you hook into a big one, you're in for a real tug-of-war. Plus, they make for some mighty fine fish tacos!

Sea Trout: Ah, the spotted sea trout - a Carrabelle staple. These guys are a ton of fun on light tackle, and they're not too shabby on the dinner plate either. We find them hanging around grass flats and oyster bars, especially in the cooler months. They're suckers for a well-presented artificial lure, and when they school up, the action can be non-stop. Nothing beats the thrill of a gator trout blowing up on a topwater plug at dawn!

Redfish: Now we're talking! Redfish, or red drum if you're feeling fancy, are the rock stars of inshore fishing. These copper-colored beauties can be found tailing in the shallows or cruising the flats. We love sight fishing for them - it's like hunting, but on the water. They'll test your drag and your patience, especially the big bull reds. Fall is prime time for reds in Carrabelle, but we catch 'em year-round.

Tripletail: If you've never caught a tripletail, you're in for a treat. These odd-looking fish are like the ninjas of the sea - they float near the surface, mimicking debris. We cruise along, looking for them sunning themselves, then pitch a live shrimp their way. They might look lazy, but hook into one, and they'll give you a run for your money. Late spring through summer is prime tripletail time, and they're some of the best eating fish in the sea!
