07/02/09
Scalloping in St. Joe Bay is the best it has been in years. Be sure to get a copy of the saltwater fishing regulations. Also remember that all people in a boat that has fishing gear must possess a valid saltwater fishing license. Offshore fishing continues to be good. Snapper, gag and king bite has been great. Bay fishing is best early in the morning 5:30 - 10am for best bite.
Captain Roy Ray, has been fishing the bays and inlets of Bay County, Florida for nearly 70 years. In that time he has earned the title of "King of the Bays" from the local fishermen who view him as an expert in the sport of Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout fishing.
"Panhandle Outdoors with Captain Roy & the Coach" can be seen every weekday morning at 5:30 am on Panama City's WPGX Fox 28. The program features interviews with local outdoorsmen and videos of recent trips as well as a lot of practical advice on hunting and fishing. In addition to his TV program, Captain Roy also presents a radio fishing forecast at 7:30 am and 11:00 am on WLTG AM 1430. Captain Roy has been featured on several local TV programs and regularly appears at various outdoors and youth events.
In 1994 Captain Roy began marketing his own speckled trout lure based on a design which has been in his family for over 50 years. The "Ray's Speck Special" has since become a favorite of local fisherman due to its incredible appeal to specks and redfish alike.
Captain Roy also offers a bayfishing guide and charter service at a very reasonable price. Everything is provided and no fishing license is required. There is no time limit on the charters and a great time of fishing and fellowship is guaranteed. Capt. Roy offers Flounder "Fishin & Giggin" charters as well. Capt. Roy's motto is "No Fish - No Pay" and so far he has never had to make good on that guarantee.
Besides bayfishing, Capt. Roy is also an avid whitetail deer hunter and freshwater fisherman. He is always eager to share his lifetime of experience and knowledge of the North Florida outdoors.
