Destin - Saltwater Fishing Report
Whew ! The summer temps have hit ! The Mackerel bite has been as hot as the air and there are still LOTS of Red Snappers around. I'm a little behind writing a report but with this pretty weather I have been fishin' every day, runnin 2 trips most days. The King bite has been good most mornings and off the charts most afternoons. I'm short timing it here in the Grayton/Seagrove area- 3 more days and I'm off to chase Tarpon and 'Tails at Indian Pass. Only be gone 4 weeks this year since the Feds have cut our snapper season back to August 14th--- got to come back and get at least the last couple weeks in. "fishery management" now ranks right up there with "military intelligence" in the list of greatest oxymorons----
No photos while I'm at the "Pass" but I'll post a bunch the end of July when I get back. In the meantime here area few pic's from the past 10 days or so-----
Kids always catch Fish!
Just to prove a point- the gal at the far right caught the cobia!
These folks booked three morning 4 hours in a row!
And Another mornings catch---
These folks book 5 mornings every year the last week of June! And boy , do they catch fish.
Yes, the gal caught the biggest kings AND the 6 biggest of the 8 snapper limit, while the guys were feedin' '
Another group that fishes the same morning every year with a great board of fish.
there are a couple cobias in the above pics-- they are making the usual mid summer burst this week. We got lucky and found one on a fad and one came up with a school of short jacks. Another Grayton capt (Jody Wesley) has run dedicated cobia trips the past 3 days and got 2 today, 6 yesterday and 3 the day before !!!!!! They will probably last another day or two----
The next report will be about Silver Kings !!!!!!
