Report for Destin, Florida - Nearshore - And now for the good part of tropical storms- GROUPERS !! Hurricane Lili may have have cost me some fishing days but the quality of the bite since she left has been phenomenal. A lot of the Red Snappers we had before seem to have been moved out but more...

Fishing Report for the Florida Panhandle - Isidore, what kind of name is that? Why don’t they name them with common appellations like Rachel, Jan, Glenda or Susan? I guess with so many named storms, one simply starts running out of names. Isadore was a shameless hussy. Now that she is more...

Report for Destin, Florida - Nearshore - The Snappers sure have stuck around inshore this year. I've run everyday the past 6 days and even on the 4 hr. trips we've had a limit of Red Regulars. Some days my folks had plenty of other species to go along with and a couple of days I was proud t more...
