Been a great week of fishing and catching on the forgotten coast here in carrabelle. Popping corks with chartreuse paddle tail jigs are the go to lure set up. The key is have a longer pause in between cork pops. Lots of overslot trout and some over slot reds sent back to make more fish for the future!

It's definitely feeling like spring on the forgotten coast, air and water temps are up. Spent a nice afternoon with Troy and Diane doing some catch and release fishing. Several redfish on the small side and some nice big trout, all on lures and Diane got one big trout on fly, a chartreuse and white clouser minnow. Best lures of the day where chartreuse paddle tails and the old reliable gold spoon!

The weather has been perfect for inshore fishing around carrabelle, some nice catches of redfish and trout mostly on soft plastics and jigs. Had a great day with Ben and Coop. Seeing lots of sealife on the grass flats, rays and turtles and LOTs of mullet!

Fishing inshore has been great for redfish and trout, the fall fishing will continue through November. Pics of Alex and Nicole on their anniversary fishing trip!

Fishing this week has been good targeting redfish and trout using Berkeley gulp on a jighead below a popping cork and gold spoons. Targeting sand holes on the grass flats and edges in the two to three foot range has been producing target species plus small sharks, bluefish, sea bass and other hard pulling fish. Finding trout back up in the shallows is a good sign fall is coming. The best fishing of the year is coming up in the next couple of months!

March is the month here in carrabelle when the fishing starts to get going, good catches of trout and redfish, the trout have been a bit scattered, but many good sized fish caught, many oversized released. Covering the flats casting soft plastic paddle tails below corks has been effective. Chartreuse and electric chicken colors are my favorite. Looking for mullet activity on the flats is a good indicator for reds. Ran into some Spanish mackerel, always fun on light tackle. Lots of dolphin and sea turtles around, from the water is the best view of carrabelle and the forgotten coast!
