Forgotten Coast

Well folks it’s been another good week here in the big little fishing town of Port St. Joe. There was a certain bustle in the air this Independence Day Eve as city workers were putting up final decorations, mowing the easements, and preparing for the Fourth of July fireworks display. The atmosphere at the Bluewater…

Well folks, it’s been another great week of fishing in our little town of Port St. Joe. If you can stand the heat out there, NOAA is predicting very fishable seas. Staying within 25 miles offshore, anglers have been coming in with limits of red snapper despite having to deal with Flipper and what seems…

While this last week proved to be a bit “sporty” offshore, it was well worth the occasional wave throwing you off balance and crashing your knees into the gunwale because the hog snappers were biting! Remember folks, the bumps and bruises will heal in time; the memories like the ones captured here will last forever….

Offshore fishing in the area has continued to stay “red hot.” By that, I mean the red snapper are continuing to be hauled in, and there are some nice ones too! Here you can see Steve Sewell, along with Jackson and Russell Floyd, with a beautiful haul of reds. Those are some slabs on that…

Well guys and gals, it was a wild and wonderful open to red snapper season this year.  The weather was beautiful, and ocean conditions perfect for everyone getting a chance to go out there.  Bluewater Outriggers was slammed to the gills with customers getting their gear and bait in order to take part in the…

Well, my fishing friends, the time is nigh. The big question is are you going to join in the madness? On this opening day of snapper are you going to sit in that quarter-mile long boat launch line watching yet another vehicle with out-of-state tags make its second or third attempt to back their boat…

Well, we’ve again had one of those weeks where the weather has kept most anglers inshore. Even fishing inshore artificial baits was a bit challenging dealing with the waves caused by the constant wind and high gusts. The good news is that NOAA is forecasting the wind to finally calm down. Because there was not…

Fishing off the coast has been good for many anglers this last week. Lots of beeliners were caught as well as red snapper caught and released. My friend Johnny Jones and his buddy Adam headed to some numbers around 22 miles offshore and got their fill of vermillion along with some triggers. Like many folks,…
