This year, there were a few weeks between the end of snapper season and the beginning of the amberjack season. While this meant some downtime for many of the areas charter boats and their captains, it was a great time to take the kids out for some fun. Out in the Gulf of Mexico, the mingo snapper, triggerfish, dolphin, wahoo and king mackerel are biting. Closer to shore, on the inlets of Choctawhatchee Bay, the catfish and pinfish are plentiful.
