Inshore fishing for tripletail 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 tripletail 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.
