Panhandle Hit the Hot Spots

Author: Jim Wilson
* A number of anglers in the Panhandle eschew turkey on Thanksgiving and instead dine on grilled grouper, baked stuffed flounder or sautied red snapper. And in November, coming up with suitable table fare represents no problem, says Capt. Buddy Dorch, skipper of the Box Full out of Grand Lagoon next to Lighthouse Marina in Panama City Beach. Dorch says to look for plenty of grouper and red snapper on just about any inshore structures. Live pinfish are prime bait for these hungry predators, and don't be surprised to pick up an amberjack or two as well. Local charts pinpoint notable wrecks and structures such as Grey Ghost, PCMI Barge and a number of bridge spans, or the military tanks sunk several years ago. Most of these can be found in 100 feet of water, within 12 miles of shore.

To nab the flatties, hunt around the St. Andrews Channel Whistle Buoy, the A, B, C and D buoys as well as inshore wrecks such as the Simpson, Stage Two and the Davis Barge. Capt. Dorch fishes a medium-heavy bottom rig with a 4- to 8-ounce slip lead and 20-pound mono leader. Live bull minnows (killifish) will do the trick every time, he says.

Bond Investment Toledo Toledo * Around passes such as Destin Pass, Pensacola Pass and Bob Sikes Cut in Apalachicola, big sheepshead up to 10 pounds and more will be anxious to hit a live fiddler crab or shrimp fished on the bottom. Capt. Hoke Kennedy charters out of Panama City and trailers his boat to where the fish are biting. He says Apalachicola Bay and various rivers that feed it make for excellent speckled trout fishing from November and well through winter. The St. Marks River near Dog Island produces regular catches of 3- to 4-pound trout. "My best luck is with a 3/8- to 1/2-ounce jig-head with a chartreuse curly-tail grub, fished slowly across the bottom."

James Bond Trading Card * Redfish constantly hang around the mouth of the East River at Apalachicola Bay, and Capt. Allen Duke, who operates out of Port St. Joe, keeps the rods bent year-round with big-bull fights. In addition, he concentrates in the shallows at the southern end of St. Joe Bay for trout as well as reds. Duke likes hot-pink plastic grubs for the 2 to 3 feet of water he normally fishes and keeps the grubs swimming fast - big trout and redfish can't resist them, he claims. He's also done well casting plugs such MirrOLure's Top Gun.

John Wright at Gulf Breeze Bait and Tackle says productive, easy-to-locate spots include the Avocet Dredge and the Russian Freighter, about 12 and 8 miles offshore respectively. A beefy rig with 60-pound line, a 12-ounce slip lead and about 6 feet of 80-pound mono leader will pry grouper out of the wrecks - live pinfish make irresistible offerings.

The huge schools of pre-spawn mullet attract plenty of big bull, blacktip and tiger sharks. Net several lively mullet, put a hook through the lips of one of them, then set the rig in the rod holder and await a visit from one of these Jaws.

Cooler weather tends to gather trout in deep holes throughout the bay, particularly near the northern portion where numerous canals such as Villa Venice Canal hold lots of big trout as well as redfish. Live shrimp will do the trick, fished with tiny split-shot.

Bond Investing Municipal * What do you catch if you use an 8-foot hammerhead shark for bait? Ask Jackie Conzelman, the "bait man" who sells live cigar minnows and herring just outside St. Andrews Pass at Panama City. Conzelman, who usually uses a 12-foot net and mainly catches bait at night, recently caught more than he bargained for. "I made a cast and as soon as the net hit the water, I knew there was something in it other than bait," he says. "It started moving and I quickly tied the rope off on a cleat. There was a terrific thrashing and after a struggle, I finally got the big fish to the boat and realized it was a large shark. It took more time to untangle the critter and save my expensive custom net than it did to get it to the boat," he adds. Conzelman keeps his boat well lit, and a tourist in a nearby boat got the entire scene on video!

Basis Bond Finance Hill * Ever hear of a "smacker" king? Bill Day of Pensacola can tell you all about one. Seems he was fishing by himself near the entrance to Pensacola Bay when he was struck in the head by something with so much force that it knocked him unconscious. When he awoke, blood streamed from a cut on the side of his head. Fortunately, nearby boaters witnessed what happened and pulled alongside to give him a hand. The mystery UFO turned out to be a wayward king mackerel in the 50-pound class that free-jumped directly over Day's boat. Says Day, "That's the first time I ever got smacked by a smoker."
