No knowledgeable angler is going to list August as a hot month for catching seatrout along Florida's Panhandle coast. Unless, of course, they are talking about the weather! By the time we enter August, the Gulf of Mexico becomes, as one veteran guide termed it, one large, warm bathtub. And that only describes the water temperatures. Anglers above the surface are going to get an even bigger dose of the heat. For a notoriously delicate fish like the trout, these are not the most favorable conditions for feeding.
Read the full (long) article how fishermen outsmart trout and other fish anyway, espeically in areas around Pensacola and Apalachicola Bay. Very interesting!
