Today I talked with Greg from Half Hitch Tackle in Port St. Joe near Panima City. He reminded me that trout fishing is closed in there part of the state as of today, Feb. 1. Before that, his customers had been reporting excellent catches of specs in the marina and the bay. "Where there are trout there are reds!" he told me when I asked if the redfish had been biting. He was also telling me that the high winds from the recent cold fronts has kept most people from traveling to far into the gulf, but those who have gotten out have been rewarded with good catches of grouper at the near shore wrecks.
