The water has cooled off a bit so that means the trout bite is starting to pick up. You can target them on drop offs in most areas ranging from the flats, creeks and along the ICW on the shell banks.
The reds are beginning to to school up better coming off of the spawn but with the high water it’s been difficult to find good slots but using a live mullet on a popping cork will work. Target them along the grass and oyster bars.

The black drum are bitting steady near the inlets and deep holes in the creeks. Shrimp is always your best bait to entice them.
The flounder bite has been decent still and the big girls have moved in to the ICW. Target them by using a 1/4oz jighead or smaller depending on the current with a live finger mullet, mud minnow or shrimp. Just be patient and you’ll hook up with some really nice flatties.

Sheepshead bite has remained world class the last couple weeks. Limits in less than a few hours on this weeks trip.
Overall I expect the bite to stay good through November until water temps drop below 65ish.
With some nasty wind coming next week it looks like downtime for the fleet but after the blow expect shallow water redfish to start their winter time chew.
Offshore expect cobia to fire up on the wrecks as the water temps get into the happy low 70s.
All day 10/12 hour trips should yeild plenty of Triggerfish, vermillion snapper, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper...

The bull reds are still here and lots of sheepshead are being caught. When you can get offshore, bottom fishing is still good- lots of red snapper, triggerfish, jacks and some black seabass showing up. I made one trip offshore catching mostly red snapper, lots of seabass (mostly shorts) and a few ring tail porgie. They had a great time bending the rods!

September and October were fabulous months out there. We had a very hot tarpon bite on the St. Johns River. We also had fair action on spotted seatrout, sandtrout and mangrove snapper. We caught a hand full of redfish and black bass in the brackish waters and we caught a couple of Bull Reds as well. Hurricane Ian wasn't severe in Jacksonville but we got a significant amount of rain which muddied the St. Johns River and slowed things down. The water should be cleared up any day now. As temperatures drop, I am expecting the snook to turn on...

The Redfish are still in and biting good around the bridges and the inlet, and now the drum and sheepshead are biting as well.

Inshore fishing has been good with flounder, sheepshead and a good bull redfish bite. Ian has offshore waters stirred up but the bite for bottom fishing has been good for snapper, beeliners, triggerfish and some seabass. As the water cleans up some striking
fish should show up like king mackerel, barracuda, and jacks. Here are pictures of most recent fish.

Hey Hannah, the redfish bite is still steady. With the flood tides target grass lines with a popping cork and a live mullet or shrimp on a 1/0 circle hook. For the bull reds target the inlets with either live mullet, blue crab or cut bait on a 3/0 hook with minimal weight. Slack tides will produce the best fishing. Flounder, same ole story. Target creek mouths, bends and sandbars. The snook bite is the best it's been in a couple of weeks. Target most of the same area's as the smaller refs and flounder with live shrimp or finger...
In the St. John's River the everything is still keyed in on shrimp as they thin out. Use a slip cork rig with a 1/0 to 3/0 hook and pitch up close to natural shoreline and hold on. You can expect to catch everything from largemouth, striped bass, red fish and catfish. Currently we are experiencing higher than usual flood tides so the fishing is tough but once you find them the bite is pretty good.
