Our Fishing Methods

Drop Zone Fishing uses different fishing methods to help you catch more fish. Our captain used to be a commercial fisherman, so he knows where to find fish and how to catch them. We might use bottom fishing for snapper and grouper, or try trolling for mackerel and other fish that swim near the surface. We want to make sure you have the best fishing trip possible.

Nearshore fishing in Carrabelle is about more than just catching fish - it's about the whole trip.
