Ripple Fishing Report

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Justin Leake of Panama City Inshore out of Panama City Beach, FL. and he gives a report on the inshore fishing before Ian started blowing. It sounds epic and I am noticing a trend about the fishing before these named storms. From now until the end of November the fishing will be fantastic, just be sure to avoid fishing during cold fronts and tropical weather events but the fishing before and after can be off the charts! Expect normal fall patterns otherwise, the fishing should be great!

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Jordan Todd of Saltwater Obsessions out of Port St Joe, FL. He tells us about the epic fall fishing that is happening in the area. The fall bait run is in full effect and the fish are responding. Jordan also explains why the fishing is so good just before and just after hurricanes that enter into the Gulf of Mexico. We hear about a Colorado Elk trip as well & some of the near misses from the trip. If you're a hunter, you'll definitely want to listen until the end.

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Lionel James of Lion's Tale Adventures out of Destin, FL. He gives us an update on the fishing in the Destin area and it sounds like the Fall fishing is underway. With Red Snapper getting a fall season and the pelagic species a little closer to shore it should make for some great opportunities. Capt Lionel also tells us about the redfish and their feeding habits as it relates to the moon phases, it sounds like something worth paying attention to. The fishing is good and getting better as long as there...

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Brant Peacher of AnglerUp with Brant out of Pensacola, FL. He gives us an update on the surf fishing. It sounds like the fish are there but so is the June grass. Its not there every day, but be sure to have proper intel before heading to the surf right now. Inshore, it sounds like as the cooler weather approaches things are going to keep getting better and all of the normal redfish spots are producing as expected. Once we have another cold snap or two, we should start seeing massive schools...

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Lionel James of Lion's Tale Adventures out of Destin, FL. He tells us about fly fishing for Amberjack & snapper on the nearshore reefs. It sounds like it is an awesome way to chase these fish that we usually target by dropping baits. Lionel likes to live chum them up to the surface where you can see them and cast to specific fish and add a sight fishing element to the fun. This presents a whole new challenge to fly anglers and I am a big fan of the idea, definitely on my...

It sounds like it has cleaned up and the fishing is phenomenal LL long the Panhandle!

On today's episode we talk with Capt Justin Leake of Panama City Inshore out of Panama City Beach, FL & he tells us that right now, the fishing just isn't that great. Not what we want to hear but sometimes the factors just don't come together in a way that fires the fish up. In fact, sometimes it does quite the opposite. The good news is that the Gulf changes constantly & with the change in seasons slowly beginning, I think there are some really good days on the water ahead. 

On this weeks episode we talk with Capt. Brant Peacher of AnglerUp with Brant out of Pensacola, FL. We get an update on the surf fishing, they might be a little more shallow than you suspect & we get an update on the inshore and offshore fishery around Pensacola as well.

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Brant Peacher of AnglerUp with Brant out of Pensacola, FL. He says that the June grass from the last few weeks is gone! We assume that whatever currents pushed it out also brought in beautiful, clear water and really got the bite going.

It has turned on in a big way along the beach so grab your surf gear & sand flea rake and get...

Triggerfish are in season and this time...

On today's show we talk with Capt. Lionel James of Lion's Tale Adventures out of Destin, FL. He tells us about catching triggerfish on the near shore reefs & mangrove snapper on inshore structure. The tricky part about catching keeper triggerfish is that there are so many of them and the smaller ones are more aggressive. It sounds like the nearshore and jetty fishing is a great way to fill your freezer right now with two of the best tasting fish that we have in the Gulf!

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Jordan Todd of Saltwater Obsessions out of Port St Joe, FL.

Justin explains what to expect as we begin the slow transition into fall and cooler temperatures...

On today's show we talk with Capt. Jordan Todd of Saltwater Obsessions out of Port St Joe, FL. We talk about the fishing around St Joe Bay as well as nearshore & offshore.

It sounds like things have moved into the typical late summer patterns & there are certainly fish to be caught!

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Brant Peacher of AnglerUp with Brant out of Pensacola, FL. He tells us about the rain that has moved through the area in recent weeks and has made for significant challenges if you're fishing inshore. Not only the water clarity and temperature are effected but most importantly the salinity. When the salinity drops quickly the fish shut down and usually find cleaner, saltier water. That being said, anything on the gulf side is your best bet and with the area's multiple piers and beach access' you should still be able to wet...

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Jordan Todd of Saltwater Obsessions out of Port St Joe, FL. and we finish our conversation from last week about live chumming for King's. In part 2, we talk about the other fish that come up in the live chum slick along with Kingfish. Inshore, it sounds like the wet weather that moved through the area last week and the summer pop up thunderstorms helped to get the bite fired up. Those showers cool the water temp down quickly and create oxygen in the water. Sometimes the fish respond well to little those...

On today's show we talk with Capt. Brant Peacher of AnglerUp with Brant out of Pensacola, FL. He tells us about a fantastic bite offshore. There's no shortage of Red Snapper but you might also find Mahi oriented to floating structure or the occasional King Mackerel. There is plenty of action to be had this time of year.
