Are you looking to find out what’s biting right now in Destin, Florida? November offers excellent inshore fishing opportunities. During this time of year, you can expect to catch a variety of fish species, including:
1 Redfish (Red Drum) - Redfish are often abundant in the inshore waters of Destin during October. They can be found near oyster beds, grassy flats, and in the passes.
2 Speckled Trout (Spotted Sea Trout) - Speckled trout are a popular target for inshore anglers in Destin. They tend to be active during the fall and can be found around grassy areas, channels, and structure.
3 Flounder - Flounder are another common catch in the inshore waters of Destin during October. They are often found around sandy bottoms, ledges, and near the mouths of rivers.
4 Snook - While not as common as some other species, snook can be found in the inshore waters of Florida, including Destin. They prefer warmer waters and can be found near mangroves and inlets.
5 Black Drum - Black drum are often found in the same areas as redfish and can be caught using similar techniques. They are more active in cooler water temperatures.
6 Sheepshead - Sheepshead are often caught around structure like docks, pilings, and jetties. They have strong teeth and are known for their bait-stealing antics.
7 Spanish Mackerel - While Spanish mackerel are more commonly associated with nearshore and offshore fishing, you may encounter them in the inshore waters of Destin, especially around schools of baitfish.
8 Jack Crevalle - These powerful and hard-fighting fish are often encountered in the inshore waters
