Tripletail fishing in Apalachicola is showing fantastic promise this June. These unique, strong fighters are being found around floating debris, buoys, and shallow oyster bars. Anglers are having great success casting live shrimp and small jigs near the surface, especially during calm, sunny conditions. The best times to target tripletail are early mornings and late afternoons when these fish tend to cruise slowly near structures. Patience and steady presentations are key to hooking these prized fish. Local guides report steady catches, with many anglers landing multiple tripletail in a single outing. Water temperatures and clarity are ideal, contributing to active feeding patterns. Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying tripletail for the first time, Apalachicola offers some of the best opportunities in the region. Book a guided trip or explore on your own to experience the thrill of catching these distinctive fish in one of Florida’s most scenic fishing spots.

Tripletail fishing with Gary Finch
Inshore fishing for triple-tail has always been one of my favorite types of fishing around my home near Mobile Bay. But it has been a while since I travelled back to the places of my childhood in and around the panhandle of Florida. This week, I travel to Apalachichola, Florida, a charming fishing village that is “more like Cape Cod than deep south.” With Apalachicola’s protected waters and shallow bays, many different inshore species thrive and make for some excellent fishing. I have been invited to venture out with one of the best captains around the area. Mark Butler of Tripletail Charters is offering to give me a guided tour of his backyard, along with sampling the abundant triple-tail fishery found in the Apilachicola waters. Join us this week along the “Heart of the Forgotten Coast” coming up next, right here on Gary Finch Outdoors.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 17, 2025
This was hands down one of the best fishing trips I’ve ever had! We landed 9 Tripletail, and the action started right from the beginning. The captain kept us on the fish all day, and we even caught the biggest Tripletail of the season. I can’t recommend this charter enough!
June 17, 2025
Spent three wonderful days chasing tripletail with Capt Mark Butler. We are fly fisherman and Mark did a nice job putting us in position to catch fish. Great boat, beautiful area and an abundance of fish species in the bay. Can’t go wrong with Capt Mark, and he makes a damn fine lunch too. Do practice your casting in the wind as the bay seems to always have a breeze (which is nice when it’s 90* and 80% humidity! Highly recommend Triple Tail Charters - give them a try.
June 17, 2025
What a great day on the water with Capt.Mark! He put us on some tripletail. They sure are fun to reel in! We got a couple flounder on another trip. Capt.Mark is very knowledgeable about the area and he knows where the fish are. Thanks again Capt! Fish on!
June 17, 2025
