Panhandle Fishing Report - Pensacola Bay & Choctawhatchee Bay

Capt. Eddie Woodall
September 30, 2007
Pensacola - Saltwater Fishing Report

September leaves and October brings in a whole new ball game to inshore fishing. Last month was very productive fishing the docks for the slot sized Reds; if you could find the docks holding the fish, then you could go there just about any time and have a blast trying to horse one out from around the dock pilings. The quality of Speckled Trout has greatly improved over the last few weeks. The big ones are starting their migration back to and around the flats. Just last Thursday (9/27) I landed 2 Trout over 20” with 1 at 24” and lost a couple big ones, along with a nice stringer of normal sized fish. And I’m not the only one; there have been reports from several of my friends about catching some real nice Specks over the last few days.

The Flounder migration is getting started also, as these doormats are making their way to the Gulf from the rivers and backcountry for their annual spawning run, you can really have a good time with them, and do they eat well! They can be caught on live bait of just about any sorts, as long as it’s on the bottom and moving fairly slow, lead head jigs and soft plastics will work also. One of the more popular methods for catching Flounder in this area is gigging them at night. You will start seeing boats of all shapes and sizes headed out at sunset loaded down with lights for the next two months or so.

The Bull Reds are starting to show up in good numbers, the large schools don’t usually show up until September and into October but I have been doing well already this fall. If any of you anglers have wanted to catch a trophy Red, and a lot of them, now is the time to book a charter for the fall and winter season. It's not uncommon for us to catch between 20 and 30 of these BIG FISH in a day. The fish will stay here all the way through March, so you have plenty of time to work out your schedule to come and try your hand at our famous RUNNING OF THE BULLS!!! There is no better place in Florida that has this number and quality of big Bull Reds over the next five months.

For you Red Snapper fishermen, your time is closing in quick. The season closes November 1st and that day will be here before you know it. If you need some fish for the freezer through winter, I still have lots of days open in October, give me a call.

I know one thing for sure - You ain’t going to catch’em sittin’ on the couch!!

So get out there, and take a kid fishing.

Tight Lines and Screaming Drags, Till Next Time! God Bless.
