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
May 24, 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!
