Destin, Florida
What's biting on the Gulf, water conditions, and what to expect on your next trip. Updated regularly by the Catch 22 crew.
Light SE winds, 1-2 ft seas, water temp holding around 82°F. Excellent visibility on the near-shore reefs.
Federal red snapper season is running strong on the Grady. Bottom fishing 90-120 ft is producing quick limits, and the trollers are picking up kings on the ride out. Book weekday mornings to beat the crowd at the pass.
A few late cobia still cruising the beach on calm mornings. Slow-troll live cigar minnows for kings, and cast Gotcha plugs off the wrecks for Spanish. Triggerfish season is open — expect a fun mixed bag on the 4- and 6-hour Sea Fox runs.
Early mahi are starting to push in behind the weedlines on offshore Grady trips. Mingo bite has been steady all week 80-100 ft. AJs are open — bring a strong back for the deep drops.
Trips fill fast when the bite is on. Lock in your date with the Catch 22 crew.
