It can be tough to rent a boat this time of year though because it is scallop season. That bay is crystal clear and has loads of trout and redfish and this time of year you can also get into some serious mackerel, pompano and tarpon in the deeper areas. It is possible to wade plenty of the bay as well.

Give Presnell's a call, they are great, honest people who will put you on the right road. Good luck

I can second this as Ive been to the area (stayed at Cape San Blas) and Pt. St Joe is AWESOME!!

I know of a little pier there that Ive caught some nice fish from, including my biggest, a 7.5ft nurse shark on 15lb tackle!!!
