This post is a highlight of some of our inshore fishing and kids fishing trips over the past couple of weeks.

This is a collection of photos from our most recent catches so far this March! The bite started off slow due to the cold fronts moving through the first couple weeks this month. Afternoon bites were consistently better than the mornings for the first couple of weeks this month. Around the 20th we started to have more luck in mornings and the afternoon bite stayed consistent. The wind seems to pick up more in the afternoons now. It sometimes limits where we can fish unfortunately. We saw redfish, black drum, sheepshead, black snappers, spanish mackerel, speckled trout and permit these past 3 weeks.

Here are some of our most recent catches inshore in the Choctawhatchee Bay and around the Destin Harbor at Scallywag Charters! This is a taste of what to expect when fishing on our charters in the summer months. Fun for all ages! These were on our 3 hour kids fishing trips and 4-5 hour inshore bay fishing trips. These fishing trips were run in the morning, midday and late afternoon times.
