Need some help on fishing

Coming down next week for three days of fishing and could use some help on where to go and whats "biting". Will be in a 22' center console and will need to be where the fish will be. Any suggestions out there?First timer here.

I have heard that in the last week, people have been catching Grouper, yes Grouper, and Redfish in Eastern Lake.

What type of fishing are you wanting to do? If you let me know a few more details I will give you some info.
It will be a little generic unfortunatly I can't give away any secrets:nono1:

Eastern Lake mostly had specks over the past couple of months until it broke through to the gulf. That is extremely interesting about the Grouper being caught. Any particular bait? The specks were killing the Bull Minnows and Gulp copper shrimp on jigheads a couple of weeks ago before the water broke through. Anybody else heard about Redfish and GROUPER being caught in Eastern Lake recently?

wth?

Will be putting in at the "boathouse" in Destin. Maybe try some trolling off the coast or could go out into deeper water if we knew an area that was hot.Woundn't want you to devulge any secrets,just a little common knowledge of the area. thanks Capt.Anywhere to download coordinates for a GPS system on line?

Check out www.halfhitch.com they used to post some public numbers. Also, if you will start trolling at the buoys heading out of Destin and head SE after you clear them you should find the King Mackerel, Bonita or Spanish Mackerel pretty plentiful. Look for schools of bait and birds. You may also want to check out www.floridasportsman.com where they have a forum that discusses fishing reports for the panhandle. Let us know how it works out.

The king mackerel were really biting this weekend. We went out of Destin and then over to Grayton/ Seagrove..just a few miles out and caught quite a few. But no grouper or snapper . Good luck.

Thanks guys!

The RedFish were biting strongly over in Cape San Blas this weekend. Fish were everywhere, sharks too. One came swimming directly at me and continued under my kayak before darting off to the side and jumping into the air as he spun around. I was told that it may have been a Spinner Shark. Saw plenty of Mullet, Redfish, Horshoe Crap, Sea Urchins (I think), Scallops, Blue Crabs, etc, and birds by the hundreds, with almost as many boats and people fishing.

Those autographs are still around, but now belong to the proud new owner, who happens to be a SoWaller. I think he is smiling now.

Boy, its really amazing how quickly the fishing can bounce back after two tough years...

my spies spoke thusly on 10/2:

"balls in the pass, long lines in the rut,

live or spoon silver and rusty-red skirts,

3 knots or less and hide it well - big joy goes deep"

looks like clockwise this weekend if the weather holds
