So it's November 14th and it was at least 80 degrees this afternoon in Sunny Apalachicola. If you want to know what to bring with you for your vacation here or most especially on your upcoming fishing trip, my advice is just to bring everything and dress in layers. Better make that outer layer waterproof!
Drew Kelso Gets His 27 lb Redfish on a Flyrod!Speaking of fishing trips, Drew Kelso from Little Rock, Arkansas seems to time his trips with Capt. Chris Robinson just perfectly every year. This year Chris put him on a school of about 500 Bull Reds that he cast into and caught from until he couldn't cast any more. I'm adding photos of his trip to the website photo gallery - Check 'em out!
On Wednesday, Capt. Tommy Holland stopped by to report that he had an angler hook up on something immovable on the bottom - thinking he was hung up he gave the line over to the Captain when it started tugging back. After reeling for quite a while, a 6' Alligator surfaced, unfortunately snagged in the leg. He was released unharmed.
Capt. Tommy Robinson returned from South Florida on Tuesday. He had a successful fall fishing for permit & bones out of Key West, learned some new back country spots, and enjoyed a 4 day snook & tarpon trip in the Everglades on the way home. As of this writing he has already been to his local hunting lease 3 times and leaves for GA on Sunday.
Now that the price of gas has come down to more reasonable levels, we hope to be seeing a few more fishermen take advantage of the fall/winter fishing opportunities here on the Forgotten Coast. Your favorite guides are standing by. Flats guides will be offering half day trips until the spring season takes off. Booking spring Keys trips and Summer Tarpon trips now. The Oysters are excellent right now!!
End of November & December Forecast: Fishing is good on mild days, even with some wind. Trout & Redfish will be the staples, adding Striped & Hybrid Bass as the temperatures fall.
