In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya covers the start of a long red snapper season, strong vermilion snapper fishing, inshore redfish and trout patterns, and Spanish mackerel action around Destin and Choctawhatchee Bay. This episode features Capt. Harris Scruggs with Triple B Fishing Charters and Capt. Blake Nelson of Last Cast Charters.

Capt. Harris Scruggs gives the offshore report from Panama City, where vermilion snapper fishing has been excellent and red snapper season is about to bring heavy pressure to public wrecks and reefs. He breaks down bait, tackle, wreck positioning, waypoint strategy, and why anglers should also consider scamp, mangrove snapper, triggerfish, and other bottom fish.

Capt. Blake Nelson gives the inshore report from the Destin area, with redfish and trout on the flats, pogies becoming the easier live bait option, and Spanish mackerel still available by trolling roll-downs, bridges, and bay structure. He also shares tips on fishing unfamiliar water safely and matching lures to grass, mud, depth, and water clarity.
