Join Host Joe Baya on this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report for an action-packed update from Pensacola to Panama City.
Brandon Barton of Emerald Waters Kayak Charters reports an incredible run of Blackfin and Yellowfin tuna just off the beaches—some within casting range for kayak and pier anglers. Clean blue water and strong currents have pushed bait close to shore, fueling nonstop pelagic action. Brandon shares his go-to tactics, from trolling Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows and Rapala X-Raps at sunrise to spotting slicks and diving birds that reveal feeding tuna.
Inshore, Captain Blake Nelson breaks down the late-fall bite across Choctawhatchee Bay, where bull reds are schooling under pogies and speckled trout are holding in deeper guts. Blake explains how understanding bay contours and adapting to wind conditions can keep anglers on the fish, whether they're tucked into a calm bayou or working the flats after a cold front.
It's a high-energy episode covering everything from kayak tuna tactics to inshore redfish patterns—prime time action across the Emerald Coast!
