DESTIN AREA
Well it has been another interesting week of fishing, things have been all over the board. The biggest factor has of course been the weather. We have seen everything form absolutely gorgeous, torrential rain to howling winds all of which as played a part in the fishing.
Inshore the trout and redfish bite has been any where from ravaging hot to non existent, this is due mainly to the weather. On the nice days the trout have been reported biting on the mid bay bridge flats and in some of the south side bayous. Reds and a few flounder have been reported at Hogtown bayou and Sandestin Marina. Big schools of Jack Cravelle have been spotted in the harbor and near the mid bay bridge.
In the surf the pompano bite has been exceptional on sand fleas, yummy fleas and Fish Bites orange and pink. Some nice reds in the Grayton beach area on large sand fleas and some Bull Whiting on peeled shrimp. The sharks have been quite active late in the day and the early evening.
The pier has been ok with a few Kings and plenty of Spanish mackerel. They are still spotting a few cobia but muddy water has kept numbers down. A few pompano have also been taken this week.
Trolling for kings and bonito has gotten better especially in the broken bottom and the southeast rocks. Spanish are plentiful trolling the east beach.
As for the bottom fishing snapper have been aggressive on the east beach, the amber jacks have been good jigging and the grouper action has been mostly around the edge.
Offshore is starting to get going with reports on Wahoo and some dolphin on a weed line south of the Rock Cliffs. We have not heard of any marlin yet but they should be here any day now that the dolphin have arrived.
