Half Hitch Fish Report September 14th 2009 Salt Water MEXICO BEACH/PORT ST JOE OFFSHORE The trout and reds will still be in their summer routine of invading the flats first thing in the morning and late afternoon. Top water lures will work well during these times. During the heat of the day, the trout and redfish will move off the flats to the channels, so your next rig might be a Carolina rig with a live shrimp or an LY. For Flounder, try the edges of the grass flats in the sand and also at the entrances to the canals and bayou’s to include the area under the George Tapper bridge. Fishing live bull minnows Carolina rigged is best. September will more than likely be your last chance at the Tarpon for this year along the forgotten coast. Live pogies caught along the shore outside Indian ...

Thanks to Panama City Beach’s fairly close proximity to Louisiana, it’s not hard to find Cajun inspired cooking or cuisine with a kick in our local area. My boyfriend, being a native of the Pelican state, is always on the lookout for a good gumbo or crawfish etouffee, but had never found anything that really hit the spot. That was, until we discovered Bayou on the Beach. In a new location on Middle Beach Road, directly across from Tyndall Federal Credit Union, Bayou on the Beach has actually been serving up authentic Cajun cuisine in Panama City Beach since 1999. The restaurant originally opened on the curve of Thomas Drive, where for seven years the Buxton family (originally from Lafayette) welcomed both locals and visitors to enjoy a sumptuous menu that included crawfish pie, jambala...
