Scallop season will be here before you know it, why not skip the crowds and make an adventure out of it , come experience the REAL Old Florida in the Big Bend.

Unlike Central Florida where you’re fighting boat traffic and picked over areas, our waters are clear, peaceful, and loaded with scallops. It’s the way scalloping used to be — relaxing days in shallow water finding scallops on nearly every dive.

The Big Bend isn’t just about scallops either. You’ll be able to fish with running a gauntlet of boats and enjoy the untouched coastline that makes this place special.

Best part? We offer lodging, so you can turn your trip into a full Florida getaway without the hassle of long drives or packed hotels.

Come see why more people are choosing the Big Bend over the crowded tourist areas. The smiles, memories, and seafood dinners are waiting!

Florida Big Bend fishing charters and guided hunts with Capt. Greg DeVault — inshore fishing from Steinhatchee to Apalachicola, airboat backcountry trips out of Econfina, summer scalloping, plus turkey, alligator, wild hog, and coastal duck hunts.

Time to get on the water

05/04/2026

I don’t see many last-minute openings this time of year, but someone else’s bad luck is your shot…

May 6th, 7th, and 8th just opened up, and the timing couldn’t be better. Strong tides, redfish stacked, trout biting hard, and cobia and flounder in the mix.

These dates won’t last—May is too good right now.

Want to make a trip out of it? Lodging’s available for multi-day stays.

📞 Reach out ASAP and let’s get you on the water.

There’s nothing better than starting your day knowing you’re going to see loads of redfish. The Big Bend is an amazing area where seeing large numbers of reds is the norm, not a surprise.

What really sets the Big Bend apart from other West Coast fisheries is just how untouched and expansive it is. While places further south can offer great fishing, they often come with heavier pressure, more boat traffic, and a you tuber on every point, and fish that have seen just about every lure in the box. Up here, it’s different. The fishery is spread out across miles of shallow flats, oyster bars, and hidden backwater, giving these redfish plenty of room to roam and stay aggressive.

In areas like Tampa Bay or down toward Clearwater, you can absolutely catch quality fish—but you’re usually working harder for fewer opportunities, and timing can be everything. In the Big Bend, consistency is the name of the game. It’s not uncommon to find multiple schools in a single morning, with fish that are eager to eat and less pressured.

Another thing that makes this region special is the “Old Florida” feel. You’re not dodging jet skis or weaving through crowds—you’re watching the sunrise over open water, spotting tails pushing across the flats, and fishing water that feels as wild as it did decades ago. That’s something that’s getting harder and harder to find.

Simply put, the Big Bend isn’t just good—it’s reliable, it’s scenic, and it offers the kind of redfish action that keeps folks coming back year after year. If you’re looking for numbers, quality, and an experience that’s as authentic as it gets, this stretch of coastline is tough to beat.

If you're ready to fish in serenity come on up and experience it. There's no need to watch someones verision of a monster fish, when you can come catch many of them for your self!!

The switch has officially been flipped here in Florida’s Big Bend—and there’s no doubt about it.

This week, the spring bite showed up in a big way. Every morning ride out has been one to remember. We’re seeing speckled trout stacked up in the deeper holes, healthy and hungry, and it hasn’t taken long to get tight on them. Along the edges and open water, cobia are already cruising and keeping things interesting, especially if you’ve got a bait ready to pitch.

Redfish have been just as reliable, bunched up on just about every rock point you’d want to check. When conditions line up, it’s been as steady as it gets , doubles and triples are common place right now. And it’s not just the usual suspects—there have even been a few early-season tarpon sightings rolling through, a sure sign of what’s coming next.

Out on the flats, the bait has arrived in full force. Big schools are spread out across the area, and wherever you find them, the action isn’t far behind. Spanish mackerel and bluefish have moved in, adding some fast-paced action to the mix and giving anglers plenty of options throughout the day.

Right now is about as good as it gets in the Big Bend. Everything is starting to line up, and it’s only going to keep getting better as we move deeper into spring.

Spring fishing in Florida’s Big Bend is firing on all cylinders right now 🔥

Shallow flats early, structure on the incoming tide—and the trout and redfish are eating everything we throw at them. It doesn’t get much better this time of year.

If you’ve been thinking about getting on the water, now’s the time. The bite is hot and the window is short.

Big Bend Florida Fishing Report – Spring Bite is On Fire

04/09/2026

Even when the wind reminds us who’s in charge, the Florida Big Bend continues to produce for anglers willing to adapt.

This past week brought challenging conditions across the Big Bend coast, with steady winds forcing us to rethink our usual game plan. But that’s part of fishing this unique stretch of Florida—understanding how weather, tides, and water clarity affect fish movement is the key to staying on the bite.

While redfish were our primary target, the conditions pushed us into areas better suited for speckled trout fishing in the Big Bend, and that’s where things really came together. By focusing on protected water, cleaner grass flats, and dialing in our presentations, we were able to stay consistent and put together solid catches throughout the week.

The takeaway? The Big Bend inshore fishery rewards flexibility. When the wind blows, knowing where to go can make all the difference. Trout stacked up in the right areas and stayed active, giving anglers plenty of action despite less-than-ideal weather.

As we move forward, expect fishing in the Big Bend to keep improving with warming temperatures and more stable conditions. Redfish, trout, and even early migratory species will continue to become more predictable.

If you're looking for a true Old Florida fishing experience, the Big Bend offers year-round opportunities—you just have to know how to adjust.
