Destin - Saltwater Fishing Report
The weather has just been fantastic, allowing me to take a bunch of Spring Break families way out on a slick calm Gulf. I have been steady targeting the Amberjacks with side stops for triggers and vermilion's.
Target Species at the Boat
All this nice warm sunshine has let the water heat up and the Spanish Mackerel showed up a week or so ago in force. I ran my first 2 hr afternoon trip of the year the other day with a mom and 4 boys who had a blast cathing about 40 mackerel in short order.
Happy to be Here !
The warm water has also got the cobia going with the first real "run" happening yesterday. I was on the beach cleaning Amberjacks in the afternoon and watched 3 fish caught in front of me on the bar. Capt Sam Wesley brought the first brown backed crab cruncher into Grayton yesterday .
A Great Catch but it hurt to clean 'em and watch the other guys hook cobia !
I took the Amberjack tackle off the boat yesterday evening and I'll start targeting cobia starting tomorrow ( chore day today). Not only does it look to be a good season but I have a new finder that is top notch.
Nothing but the best in fish finding equipment on the Dead Fish.
Here are a few more catches from last week. My folks have had a big time tussling with the critters on one of the nicest Spring Break weeks I can remember.
I'll put 2 kids on a rod and let 'em team up on the big Jacks.
The Black Snappers seem to starting to show up a little too.
Snapper, Jacks and big Smiles
Get out there and catch something- The Pompano have started as well so you don't even need a boat !
