The area is a good fishery. Trout, reds, gag grouper and tarpon(come summer time). As far as offshore goes. Its a lot of trolling stretch 25's and knowing the right places to do so. The cobia do show up around that time, but its hard to target them that far east. Your best bet would be huge trout and reds on the flats. April is one of the best times to drift the flats near there and Lanark. Popping cork with what ever soft bait you like will produce. Spend time setting up good drifts near the sand/breaker bars east of dog island and west of alligator point. Good luck. If you still have a choice, I would look into Cape San Blas and Port St.Joe area, they have better bottom fishing and still great flats fishing, actually my personal opinion is both are better in Cape/St. Joe. Tight Lines.
