Bay Fishing
If you have not given bay fishing a chance, you are definitely missing out on a year-round fishery. Here along the Florida Panhandle we have some exciting opportunities— whether you chose to spot cast redfish on the flats, fish dock and flats for trout, try the bridge pilings for sheepshead, bust the flounder in the pass, or get in on the spanish mackerel run, the possibilities are endless!
Access the bay by boat, kayak, shore and bridge, or from the dock.
Rods and Reels
Natural Baits
Live shrimp, bull minnows and fiddler crabs are by far the most popular, mostly due to the fact that they work great and you can buy them at Half Hitch.
Pinfish, mullet, menhaden and pigfish will require you to get out your cast net, Even though they require much more work to get, there are many days when they are the best baits.
If you don’t know how to throw a cast net, come by the shop to learn.
