🎣 Live Fishing Report – Hurlburt Field Area (Updated Weekly)
Updated: July 12, 2025
The bite has been strong this week in Santa Rosa Sound and the nearby bays just east of Hurlburt Field. Early morning trips are producing solid numbers of redfish, with several slot-sized catches coming on live shrimp and cut mullet.
Speckled trout are hanging along grass flats near Hurlburt Field, and the topwater bite is on fire just after sunrise. Sheepshead are showing up near pilings and dock structures, and dolphins have been active during family cruises in the afternoons.
If you’re planning a quick trip off base this weekend, mornings are ideal with light wind and moving tides.
Top Captain Tip:
Capt Chris recommends fishing the west-facing shoreline with a popping cork and shrimp rig at first light for best trout action.
