I've just wrapped up an amazing day of Carrabelle Fishing Charters focused on red snapper. The fishing spots were bustling with activity, and the catch was remarkable – a triumphant day pulling in robust red snapper!
Fish are biting pretty well, is all I can say. Red snapper are on. Come join us fishing!
Grouper fishing in Carrabelle, FL is great right now! The weather is perfect for fishing, and the water temperature is just right. Capt. Austin Luke has been out catching some nice Grouper even though it's still early in the season. He has been using live shrimp and artificial baits to catch his fish. Capt. Luke says that most of the time he will start out by throwing live bait to get things started, but then switch over to artificial lures if he doesn't see any action. If you want to get out there and try your luck at catching some grouper this weekend, call Capt. Austin Luke at +1 (229) 450-1155 or book online!
