Fishing in Apalachicola Bay

This stunning estuary on the Florida Gulf Coast is one of the richest, fish-filled bodies of water in the area. An Apalachicola Bay fishing trip will have you basking in the sun, sharing your day with its numerous inhabitants. Plants, birds, mammals, reptiles – the wildlife that inhabits these waters is astonishing! If you decide to visit, you’ll get to enjoy natural views rarely seen anywhere else.

Thanks to its convenient location, Apalachicola Bay can offer some of the best inshore angling in Florida, with a wide variety of fish species making it their permanent home. Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder are the most sought after, while you’ll also come face-to-gills with the likes of Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Jack Crevalle.

The trip you decide to go on will depend mostly on your wishes and ambitions. A half day trip is one of the best ways to introduce yourself to the fishing on offer here, as well as spend some family time relaxing on the water. If your goal is to fill the bags, consider booking a full day trip to cover more ground and maximize your chances of reeling in some big specimens.

The eponymous city of Apalachicola is where you’ll find the largest selection of fishing charters on the bay. However, St George Island, Eastpoint, and Indian Peninsula are also great places to visit for a charter fishing adventure.

Reglas & Regulaciones

If you’re heading out on a fishing charter, you’ll be happy to know you won’t need to get your own fishing license, as it will be covered by the captain. Some of the fish species here have specific regulations, so the best way to ensure you’re fishing within the law is to head out with a reputable captain.

Apalachicola Bay Temporadas de Pesca

Enero

At the beginning of the year, you should visit the backwaters where Redfish and Speckled Trout go to hide from the cold waters. Take your family out and show your kids how fun fishing can be!

Febrero

As the temperatures are still fairly low, the best way to explore these waters in February is to look for big Sheepshead, as well as Redfish and Trout.

With the beginning of spring, the fish start to wake up and they get a lot more active. This means that the bay will be filled with Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder, so you’ll have your hands full.

Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, and Redfish are all in the cards in April. Head out and enjoy a day of fishing in some of the best weather of the year.

We had such a great time with Capt Jason. He was a patient and capable teacher to my young son who dominated the catch for the day. An amazing day… don’t miss this trip.

We fish here annually in early March. Fishing varies year to year depending on local weather conditions. I would prefer to come later in the month but I don’t have flexibility in my schedule.

This was our Christmas vacation. It was stormy the first part of the trip but weather turned perfect last several days. I was a little worried about the fishing but Keven knew his stuff and had our drag screaming before we knew it.

Pack lots of sunscreen and water. If your not a hardcore angler the more comfortable you are out on the water the easier it is to stay out there and find the fish.

Don’t set your expectations too high. At the end of the day fishing is fishing. A good Captain will do his best and the rest is up to the fish. Sometimes they just won’t bite and other times it’s game on

Marcus is a fantastic captain. He knows where the fish are going to be and we caught an incredible variety of species. It was a fun, relaxing and productive fishing experience just as we had hoped. We laughed at how many different types of fish we were catching. It was quite surprising.

Capt. Dwayne was a laid back, nice guy. He put on us on trout first to make sure we had dinner. Then we searched for something with a little more size. The bigger fish weren't real cooperative, but I did get a nice over slot redfish!

It had stormed two days before our trip and I really didn't have high expectations because the wind was still a factor and didn't know how all that would affect the fishing. With that being said it was a great trip, caught enough trout to take home and cook and Captain Jeff was a great conversationalist which is important. Would definitely book with him again.

Bryce is a dedicated inshore guide. Said he enjoys teaching. My boys didn’t need much direction though. He was friendly and talkative except when whipping boat around bends in waterways at high speed. Caught a few fish, mostly cats but a couple small redfish. Probably best to choose offshore fishing in early April; typical windy conditions on bay will interfere with getting to the redfish which are not up in the river at this time. Calm winds are key.

We went out with Captain Marcus for a quick inshore fishing trip. Captain Marcus was an excellent guide and was on top of everything the whole trip. He made sure my 12 year old was having a great time and we caught a good annoying of fish, including a small shark. Is highly recommend Williamson!

Captain Andrew, had us come to meet him at 8am which was perfect timing! He was very accommodating and great with communication. We had our 88 yr old Grams aboard and he was extremely aware and helpful to all of us. I am a new fisherwoman and caught 10+ fish! We felt super safe and in good hands the entire time! Caught a shark, stingray, trout, flounder and several whiting. He knew when to put them back and allowed us to keep the "good ones!" Thanks Captain Andrew for the memories!
