Inshore Fishing with Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters

Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters is owned and operated by one of the best captains around, Captain Brad Bishop. He has spent over 20 years of his life on the water, working and fishing. He will use this vast knowledge and experience in guiding you to the best spots and fish.

The town of Santa Rosa Beach is conveniently located on the Choctawhatchee Bay which offers outstanding fishing year round. You can fish for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Cobia, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle.

With the latest big addition to our fleet – a 35ft SeaHunter, we now offer Offshore Fishing Trips where you can bottom fish for Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack and a variety of other reef fish, as well as trolling for Kings and Mahi, and sight fishing for Cobia and Tarpon.

Depending on the season and the fish you want to target, Captain Brad will take you to the places he knows produce good amounts of fish.

Fishing with Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters

 I have fished with captain Brad several times now. I highly recommend booking a trip with him. Brad has always put us on the fish. He goes the extra mile to find the big reds and trout.

Had a great trip with Captain Brad. Caught my first sheepshead and several ocean trout among many other interesting and larger catches.Captain Brad worked hard to make sure fish were caught and that everyone had a great trip! I highly recommend Captain Brad and plan to use him charter on any future trips to the area!

Latest Fishing Report…

June 28, 2024 - Captain Brad

The pattern change is in full swing. Where fish were two weeks ago they are no longer there. Lots of bait showing up in the bay and the bite is heating up big time! Spanish Mackerel are starting to get thick in the bay as well! Find them on any deep drop off in the bay. Trolling Clark spoons and Christmas tree rigs. You might have to add a little bit of weight to keep these rigs in the water if these high winds stick around. Before tying on your tree rigs slip a 1oz egg weight on the line. Early morning trout bite over grass in 2-4ft over water. Live croakers, shrimp, and pogy’s  are the best bait to use this time of year. Can be rigged under a popping cork, on a Carolina rig, or free-lined. Tight lines – Capt Brad
