Fishin' Every Day

Destin - Saltwater Fishing Report
The weather is wonderful, the seas calm and the fish are chewin'. I have been able to run every day the past week and have just missed one short PM trip due to the breeze blowin' up. The fishing is fantastic-Lottsa Red Snappers and quite a few big Black ones as well- The Kings are doing their usual on/off thing but have been on a lot more than off. We have been throwing back bunches of what we used to call a "good" snapper, just keeping the gut hooked ones or the "great" ones. Even the short PM trips have had full boards.
Rather than ramble on I'll just post a few pics from the past week to prove the point !
This was today- we bottom fished for 4 hours, trolled for 1- that fish in the middle is a King- not a 'Hoo !
Even the little anglers are bailin' 'em in-
These folks fish with me every year and are great fun. Quite a board for just a couple on an AM trip
Another batch of regulars that always have fun- Hard not 2 when you can have a catch like this on a 4 hour!
This started out as 2 hour Pm trip- we caught all the kings and when I started in they wanted to go another hour for snapper--- with great success!
This is just what the board would hold- there were almost as many still in the box!
Fishing should stay this hot off Grayton for the rest of the month. I'm booked up here till I leave for Indian Pass on the 30th. Still hearing fantastic Tripletail reports from there. My son, Capt Will, said he had boated 61 'tails so far this week on friday ! As much fun as this is here I'm sure I'll be ready to sight fish 'tails and put some 200# silver missiles in the air in 2 weeks. Give a call if you want a Tarpon or tripletail trip in July. I'll be back to Grayton to chase Snappers and Kings again at the end of July.
